Even if you’re not golfing, you are encouraged to attend this fun, casual, adults-only event.
Tickets are $20 per person and available at the door.
Heavy passed appetizers will be served – not a sit-down dinner. We’re keeping it lively! Cash bar. Live band outside on the patio and a DJ inside at Legend’s at the Bennett Valley Golf Course.
You don’t want to miss out on the fun! This Friday, April 11, starting at 7 PM.
We have dozens of affordably-priced silent auction items. Many with starting bids under $40. And if your tax refund is burning a hole in your pocket, why not get a head start on your deductions for 2014 by making a donation to Proctor Terrace!
This year’s live auction lineup is listed below just to tempt you. Insider tips: Get some friends together and organize a group to bid on some of these big-ticket group dinners. If you can’t make it to the auction to bid yourself, find someone who’s going and let them bid on your behalf, then keep in touch by cell phone to see if you win.
You won’t regret making great memories by enjoying these unique experiences, knowing the money you’re spending is benefiting your kids!

Family Picnic
Thanks to all who donated and came to the picnic. It turned out to be a great success!
Odyssey of the Mind
On March 8, a number of student teams from Proctor Terrace School participated in the Odyssey of the Mind regional event and competition, attended by teams from all over the North Coast region. They had enormous fun, and were excited and enthused. Two of our Proctor Terrace teams will be going to the State competition this weekend in Brentwood (Contra Costa County). A Division 2 team from Santa Rosa Middle School with two Proctor Terrace 6th graders won their division, and will also be attending the State competition this weekend. Best of luck to all of these students!
State Testing
Students in Gr. 3-6 will begin the new State testing program on April 7. This is a “test of the test.” All assessment will be done online on our school computers. Our teachers have been receiving training on this new system, and students have been taking practice and training tests. Students will not receive scores for this year’s assessments. Next year, they will only receive scores indicating percent correct. The new scoring and reporting system is expected to be in place in 2016. This is all part of turning our schools into 21st Century Learning Centers (over 13% of the 21st Century has already gone by!).
Food & Nutrition
Snack and lunch food at school is expected to be healthful and nutritious, in accordance with the District Wellness Policy and Healthy Kids initiatives. A number of students have recently been bringing junk food for snacks and lunch. Students should not be bringing junk food with little or no nutritional value to school, nor should they bring soda to drink. Staff members do monitor what students are eating, and may prohibit them from consuming such unhealthy foods. Parents need to ensure that the quantity and type of food for snack and lunch is appropriate, and are encouraged to check the nutrition labels of foods they provide for their children. We all want our students to develop healthy eating habits and to make healthy choices. They will take these habits they are learning now into adulthood.
Occasionally, comments are made about the healthfulness of school lunches. Parents need to be aware that Santa Rosa City School lunches exceed the nutritional recommendations of U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Agriculture for school lunches.
Teacher Training
In order to change teaching strategies to implement the Common Core State Standards and 21st Century learning in our classrooms, all of our Proctor Terrace teachers have participating in multiple Professional Learning opportunities throughout this school year. Some of the training has taken place after school on-campus, and much of it has been over multiple days away from the school. Some of our teachers will also be continuing this learning during their Summer break. This extensive training will continue next year and into the future. Our educators are dedicated to life-long learning to provide the best educational experiences for all of our students – your children.
