Veterans and Volunteer Days of Celebration
Written by Mary Stephenson 5-26-2017
Drums, recorders, violins, symbols and even an old helicopter towed in for the kids to see.
It was a grand event on the 24th of May.
This far exceeded last year’s event. Very proud of the kids at Sycamore School.
They are taking music classes this year and have improved so much over their last performance a few months ago.

2017 Rummage Sale
On Sunday, May 7th we all participated in the Big Rummage Sale in Redding. Should have been a simple raise funds and enjoying each other’s company. Which by the way it was!
We started to arrive a bit before 5 AM. It is really dark that time of the morning even with lights on in the parking lot.
By 7 AM we were ready to start selling. Had the tables all full and as the day progressed we moved stuff forward and was able to start eliminating tables.

Open House at Sycamore
Written by Mary Stephenson (3-22-2017)
Jim, Judy, Gary and I all went to Sycamore School to help prepare and handout a hot dog dinner yesterday.
It was for an Open House event for parents, students and teachers.
Always a pleasure serving the youngsters of Sycamore, they are very well behaved.
We were pleasantly surprised by many of the students accomplishments with musical instruments. When Susanna had told us that there would be music we were not expecting that the kids would be the entertainment. Violins, drums and keyboard.
