A grassroots fundraising campaign made up of eager parents, teachers, administrators, and those who care about a child's education. The purpose is to raise the much needed funding to maintain the programs and integrity of the Vacaville Unified School District. Our schools are in a crisis and the district has a chance to do something no other district in the state has done and that is to be SELF-RELIANT.S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.comBlogger62125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-81408674032683652852011-07-26T15:52:00.000-07:002011-07-26T15:52:15.152-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g7MWG4iW8wE/Ti9EpLGEcwI/AAAAAAAAALk/ny_rK-z6CnQ/s1600/VUSD+Summer+Programs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-g7MWG4iW8wE/Ti9EpLGEcwI/AAAAAAAAALk/ny_rK-z6CnQ/s320/VUSD+Summer+Programs.jpg" width="247" /></a></div><a href="http://www.vacavilleusd.org/pdf/SummerPrograms.pdf">VUSD summer Lunch Program</a>S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-3424200684393784142011-05-06T14:31:00.000-07:002011-05-06T14:31:43.036-07:00SOS!!

As we prepare for the governor's release of his May Budget Revision, school leaders must prepare themselves for a variety of outcomes. School leaders must express outrage and concern over any possible budget reductions for public education. It is a time for action and advocacy. To this end, ACSA is joining forces with other education, labor and community groups to declare a Public School State of Emergency to bring attention to the need for lawmakers to pass the revenue extensions proposed by Governor Jerry Brown. <br />

</div><div align="left" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">WIKIPEDIA: A QR code (short for Quick Response) is a specific matrix barcode (or two-dimensional code), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones. The code consists of black modules arranged in a square pattern on a white background. The information encoded can be text, URL or other data.</div><br />
<br />
Common in Japan, where it was created by Toyota subsidiary Denso-Wave in 1994, the QR code is one of the most popular types of two-dimensional barcodes. QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response, as the creator intended the code to allow its contents to be decoded at high speed.[1]<br />
<br />
The technology has seen a large uptake in Japan and South Korea. However, in the west there has been a considerably slower adoption of QR Codes. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QR_code">You can check out this link to find out more about QR CODES.</a><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><strong>HOW DO YOU VIEW A QR CODE?</strong></span> <br />
<strong><span style="color: red;"></span></strong> <br />
<span style="color: black;">Using your smartphone, download the QR APP, it is free for most, then take a picture of OUR QR Code and it will decode it for you. In all reality this will only take about 2 minutes the first time and less each time after that!!</span>S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-41270815934523486732011-03-04T09:27:00.000-08:002011-03-04T09:29:02.500-08:00It's almost that time again!!!

Since the last weekend of May, the final weekend of our SOS Fundraising Campaign there has been a whirlwind of action.....As of now we raised about $36,380, but many of the businesses have taken the last few weeks to finish up their accounting's so that they can make their donations (we hope to know the final number soon). <br /><br />I know there hasn't been any posts since the last week of May (Memorial Weekend), as I am sure that you know the last weeks of school are CRAZY and with the SOS Fundraiser ending, school ending, graduations, and....well....EVERYTHING that hits all at once....this blog had to take a brief pause. <br /><br />I hope to give you the FINAL number after it comes in, along with the decision on how the money will be spent. The VUSD School Board will <strong>ultimately</strong> make that decision, but I know there was a <em>recommendation</em> given to the School Board to disperse the money as a per student amount back to each school. It was the most fair way that we (the SOS Committee) could think of and it was a way to make sure that the money benefited EACH student. <br /><br />Last night the <a href="http://www.thereporter.com/news/ci_15324634">Vacaville Unified School District OKs $8.6M in cuts</a>, this article explains how some of the cuts are layed out. It is terribly sad to know that we had to <strong>cut 8.6 MILLION DOLLARS</strong> out of our budget for next year!! We as parents, would like to have raised the full amount for the cuts, but WE are pleased to have been able to raise the amount that we raised....THANKS TO ALL OF YOU WHO SUPPORTED OUR STUDENTS!! <br /><br />We tried to make a difference and I believe we did.....not just by raising the money, but by <strong>raising awareness </strong>about the financial crisis that our EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IS IN, and also helping our schools work as a UNITED TEAM....check out this <a href="http://www.thereporter.com/ci_15315722?IADID=Search-www.thereporter.com-www.thereporter.com">article</a> by the Reporter yesterday. Relationships built through this process will last well beyond the fundraiser. <br /><br />*****<br /><br />Since the Fundraiser is over and there isn't any thing else to write about....I would like to take this opportunity to give a <strong>HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!</strong> It is impossible to thank everyone who contributed to supporting our students, mostly because many of the donations are anonymous or done through texting or online, BUT please know that we are <strong>VERY GRATEFUL TO EVERYONE </strong>who supported our students. Here is a list of people who worked on the campaign, either attending the meetings and planning events or working behind the scenes running things, and businesses that supported our students, and we would like to offer them a big <strong>THANK YOU </strong>as well...<br /><br /><em>Alex Hall,Angela Higdon,Baabz Scott,Barry Rico,Brigitte Aton,Chris Strong,Christa Poe,Dave McCallum,Dawn French,Deb McGuire, VPEF,Deryl Clark,Dianna Villa,Ed Santapadre,Heidi Benson,Holly Valentine,Ivy Green,Janice Smith,Jared Austin,Jeff Adcock,Julie O’Dell,Julie Kim,Kristina McKenzie,Kristina Fisher,Krysi Marchand,Lee Majors,Louise Tyrrell,Mary Feaster,Mary Ruth Quintana,Patty Gauci,Perla Rosenberg,PJ Goodson,Randi Fien,Rebecca Duvall,Robin Mitchell,Sabrina Valdivia,Sally Bernard,Shannon Nadasdy,Shannon Nielson,Sheri Mendes,Simone Martin,Susan Benavides,Terri Simpson,Vicki Dunham, Melda Roark, Cindy Williamson<br /><br />AAA, Genentech, Avon – Tracy Spears,Vista Group,Emma Close to Home,Backyard BBQ,Graphic Expressions, Ryan Bates Photography,Murrillo’s,Chevy’s,Jamba Juice,Moose Lodge, Mary’s Pizza Shack,Nugget,Ace Hardware,Vacaville City Employees Association, VPEF, Girl Scout Troop #20086 (Angela Higdon),Parkside Dental,Les Schwab, Chamber of Commerce, Food Fair</em><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xAZe56_tOPw/TBt8duaDxII/AAAAAAAAAKc/vzEBER-yn5E/s1600/thank_you_small.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_xAZe56_tOPw/TBt8duaDxII/AAAAAAAAAKc/vzEBER-yn5E/s200/thank_you_small.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5484113821369091202" /></a>S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-16362737236724215862010-05-24T05:50:00.000-07:002010-05-24T06:13:35.551-07:007 Days Left!!

Next week is the final fund-raising push for the Support Our Students campaign. It's goal is to collect $1 million for the Vacaville Unified School District, which is having to make $8 million worth of budget cuts next school year -- on top of $17 million worth of reductions it's already undergone. So far, only $30,000 has been raised, but organizers are still hopeful, since a slew of fund-raisers are being held in coming days. And remember, anyone who can't make it to one of the events can always text in a $10 donation via their cell phone by calling 25383. A pick.</blockquote>S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-9574770681464081832010-05-21T10:20:00.000-07:002010-05-21T10:37:17.668-07:0010 Days Left!!

Rally at park was GREAT....12 Days Left!<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xAZe56_tOPw/S_PlJU1jaNI/AAAAAAAAAJc/I49_Y5NHyKY/s1600/Rally.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_xAZe56_tOPw/S_PlJU1jaNI/AAAAAAAAAJc/I49_Y5NHyKY/s320/Rally.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472969920560195794" /></a><br />When you plan a public event, you hope for certain things to happen. You hope people will actually show up! You hope that they will stick around.....and have FUN....You hope that people actually care about what "your message" is. WELL, yesterday, I think we accomplished ALL of that. The rally had about 150 people, old and young! We even had quite a few high school kids come out, which added to the entertainment. <br /><br />We had beach balls! Have you ever given a kid a beach ball and watched them figure out a way to play with it? SO FUN TO WATCH....the little kids kick it around and toss it up (add in the little bit of wind we had yesterday and there was a ton of running around too!)....the big kids hit it up in the air and kept it from hitting the ground. It was a great icebreaker.<br /><br />Then the 50/50 raffle started. Melda in her sandwich sign and her tag-a-longs, weaved her way in and out of the crowd asking for donations. Not really expecting much, but giving people a chance to walk away with half of whatever was raised. The teenagers were excited to find out that they had a chance to win $50 once the pot had reached $100. As the pot went up the excitement rose, until finally reaching $237! What a simple way for people to be involved in the fundraising we are doing.<br /><br />There were great speakers that helped show the power of what we are doing. It is nice when you are "just a parent" trying to make a difference and you get to see your efforts become noticed by people like the MAYOR!<br /><br />I can't wait until our next event on Thursday Night! It is going to be so much fun and it will give us a chance to come together with another group of people and share the importance of what the SOS is trying to do. Just in case you are asking yourself "what is happening on Thursday" here are the details:<br /><br /><strong>Thursday Night<br />Moose Lodge Dinner <br />$20 / ticket and ($13 of that will be donated to SOS!)<br />Contact: Alex Hall 483-6487<br />There will be a spaghetti dinner, raffle prizes, music, good company and a GREAT cause. Oh yea, there will also be drinks available too!</strong><br />SO, come out and join us! It will be a great time.<br /><br /><br />Here is a GREAT article written by Ryan Chalk with the Reporter - <a href="http://www.thereporter.com/ci_15115966">SOS rallies for schools in Vacaville - The Reporter</a>S.O.S. ~ Committeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09484570091215081086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28040369071355243.post-74031493175771541522010-05-18T05:50:00.000-07:002010-05-18T06:03:22.185-07:00Come Rally With Us!

If they want to join our Facebook vusd sos fan page they will be able to share the message with a click. It's that easy!<br /><br />VHS Principal, Ed Santapadre, responded with the following;<br /><br /><blockquote>“I met with our Student Council group today and they were pretty excited about it. I think they’ll take the events and facebook them everywhere. I gave them compliments that we were too old to get it out there correctly.”</blockquote><br /> <br />Like it or Not, social media is here to stay and as frustrating as it may be for teachers and administrators, its how we decide to respond that could make a difference on how the technology is used by students in the future. “Teaching By Example” is the tagline and is a core value for the VUSD. Cell phones are not allowed during class time, however students are allowed access during breaks and will do so on one day next week, please call Vaca High School (707)453-6011 or PJ Goodson 707-451-6422 x303 or go to www.VacavilleUSD.org for more information. <br /><br />About S.O.S.

Excerpt from her Dove Report of January 17, 2004.<br /><br />Hello Dear Friends and White Knights,<br /><br />(...)<br /><br />As inspiration for all of us to realize that EACH of us can do things to help improve our world, I’m sharing stories that prove ONE PERSON can make important differences. I’ve read that the current history books given to students have purposely been revised to talk about “movements” but leave out the names of the individual people whose actions began the “movements”. For example, Gandhi made peaceful protest and peaceful civil disobedience a valuable process of peaceful change. Susan B. Anthony rose to the challenge as a famous leader of the battle to obtain women’s right to vote in the U.S. The Illuminati owners of text book publishers do not want students to realize that important improvements can begin with ONE PERSON; this is why the text books have been rewritten to discuss movements and not individuals.<br /><br />....<br /><br />Each of us has within us the ability to make an important difference! If you doubt you can do it, just read the story <a href="http://www.luisprada.com/Protected/one_person_can_make_a_difference.htm">HERE</a> and remember that one librarian led the charge to defeat a powerful and wrong-thinking media conglomerate.<br /><br /></blockquote><br /><br /><strong>"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world.

We are quickly approaching the end of our fundraising campaign, as well as deciding OUR fate! <br /><br />We started this campaign, right around March 4th with "Stand Up For Students", to see if we could raise 1 million dollars (of the expected 8-12 million dollar cuts) with a deadline of May 31st! Our end is quickly approaching and NOW is the TIME to make a difference. <br /><br />In just about 2 months we have done SO MUCH to help our kids, BUT we aren't finished yet! THIS IS IT, WE NEED YOUR HELP so we can say that WE HAVE DONE ALL WE CAN DO!<br /><br />When I think about all that we have done, in such a short period of time, it makes me proud! <br /><br /><br />Think about what has been done in 2 short months: <br /><br />We quickly joined forces and launched this S.O.S. campaign, we started to educate people of our local budget crisis, that are a result of STATE CUTS. We launched a <a href="https://npo.networkforgood.org/Donate/Donate.aspx?npoSubscriptionId=1002696">"Donate Now"</a> website that allowed people to donate on-line. Then we launched a <a href="http://www.vacavilleusd.org/homex.asp">TEXT Message campaign</a>, which we are the first school district to do so in the <strong>NATION</strong>. We have spoken to <a href="http://vusdsos.blogspot.com/2010/04/local-businesses-support-our-students.html">local businesses that support us </a>and have offered alternative ways to donate, through services and products that most people use in their everyday life. We have set up booths at local functions. We have marched together (teachers, students, parents, friends), to show our support of each other. We have rallied at the capitol, to say "NO" more cuts. We have held dinner nights, rummage sales and raffles. <br /><br />BUT....WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!<br /><br />The month of MAY is going to be <strong>exciting</strong>!
