We Need 14 MORE Volunteers for the Annual Rotary 2nd Grade Swim Program


Update 2/18/26:

We need not only our 2nd grade parents, family members, friends and neighbors to step up, but we need other grades community members as well to volunteer for this incredibly worthwhile, potentially lifesaving program.
Please help - sign up ASAP.

Along with other schools in Sebastopol, Park Side partners with Sebastopol Rotary to provide FREE potentially lifesaving training to students at a pivotal time (right before summer water events!). We need our community helpers to ensure a successful year of teaching our sweet second graders basic water and/or swimming skills. No experience is required and the pool is heated year round. All classes will take place:

Mental Health Workshops for Families

Helping children and teens through life's challenges can be difficult — but you're not alone. Parents and caregivers are invited to boost their capacity to support youth mental health in a series of free, bilingual, virtual workshops hosted by the Sonoma County Office of Education and community partners. This series will cover topics such as keeping students safe online, managing youth anxiety, and substance abuse. The workshops are held in English and Spanish once a month on Thursdays, from 5-6 p.m.

Learn more about the series by visiting scoe.org/mhw. Register at the website, or by calling 707-522-3104.
