National Walk to School Day, October 8, 2008 In Case you missed the notification from Pleasant Valley School District (PVSD), I am here to remind you that Wednesday October 8, 2008 is National Walk to School Day. In 1997, the Partnership for a Walkable America sponsored the very first National Walk to School Day in Chicago. Since then, all 50 Stats have joined this annual event to promote one main cause, a more Walkable America.  In our City of Camarillo schools such as Las Posas Elementary School will honor all students who participate in National Walk to School Day by presenting those students with a National Walk to School Day tag! So, residents of Camarillo, I encourage you to join the rest of the country by walking your child to school for a healthier lifestyle, less traffic, clean... 10/03/2008

  While residents of Camarillo get ready to vote on Measure U in November 4, 2008, both Pleasant Valley School District (PVSD) and Oxnard Unified High School District (OUHSD) continue their spending on their lengthy legal battle. Payment records from the PVSD and OUHSD show that both districts have spent more than $411,000 in legal fees related to the unification issue.  The PVSD has outspent OUHSD by paying $273,034 to their attorneys in the last 18 months.  This all happens while school budgets are being slashed and programs are being canceled in the district. (Source: Camarillo Acorn) In our recent conversation with the OUHSD superintendent, Dr. Dunlap, we were informed that OUHSD has retained the land in Camarillo (adjacent to Camarillo Library) and has every intention to build a hi... 10/02/2008

Camarillo Free Parenting Workshop As I sat through the 2008-2009 Monte Vista Middle School orientation this summer with two hundred-something other parents, some of us realized that the reality we have been dreading all summer long was finally here. Our elementary school children are about to enter a much larger school and carry the label "preteen" no matter how hard we try to keep them close to the nest. For years I have listened to parents talk about their unruly, defiant, out-of-control teenagers and preteens. The troubling and heartbreaking stories are the ones when the children are involved in drugs and alcohol abuse. I have watched families break up, and younger siblings suffer.
