This month you have two chances to participate in our Dine and Donate program, where you can support a local restaurant and earn money for the PTG.

We are excited to partner again with Petra Greek, which is owned by family of our very own Ms. Raptakis! Petra Greek is donating 15% on both days.

On the 3rd Saturday of each month, Mrs. Kane hosts a Garden Work Day to help create a sense of community, improve the school grounds and offer students a chance to earn tickets and be entered for raffle prizes.

The first work day this year will be Saturday, January 20 from 9 AM – 12 PM.

You can come for as long or as little as your schedule allows, any help is appreciated. There will be tasks for big hands and little hands, so bring the whole family!

Don’t forget to let us know if your student was there, so we can make sure they are recognized for their hard work at Friday Rally and entered into a raffle for a prize at the end of the year.

The next garden work day will be Saturday, February 17.

Ruby Bridges Walk to School day is Tuesday, November 14th. The David Lubin Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging Circle worked with the First Grade Teachers to plan this event. We encourage you to wear purple on Nov. 14 for our special Tuesday Rally led by the 1st grade classes, followed by a walk around the field.

We encourage students and their families/representatives to participate in the walk to school. We will have one group leaving from Oak Park and one from East Portal Park. You can join us at the start or at any point along the route.

Walk to School – OAK PARK Route 

The route from Oak Park will leave at 8:00 from 2nd Ave. and Santa Cruz Way.  Estimated walking distance is 2 miles from the start and will take about 45 minutes.

Walk to School – EAST PORTAL PARK Route 

The route from East Portal Park will leave at 8:20 from 51st St. and M St.  Estimated walking distance is 1 mile from the start and will take about 25 minutes.

Stock up on books for the holidays or help your teacher fill their in class library!

The Book Fair will be open daily from October 23 to 27 from 8:45 AM to 3:30 PM. Students will come in to the Book Fair the week during their normal library time for their special shopping time. The Fair will also be open during the Fall Festival on October 27 from 5 to 7:30 PM.

This year, say hello to eWallet – your student’s digital payment account. If you don’t want to send your student to school with cash we have a new payment option. Before the Fair, set up eWallet for worry-free, cash-free purchases. Anyone can contribute.

If you can’t make it to the fair, you can always purchase books online and any BOOK orders over $25 will ship free. Learn more about eWallet or shop online at: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/davidlubinelementaryschool

We understand that it is hard to carve out time on Mother’s Day weekend, but we must fill these spots to make this event a success. To help encourage you, all volunteers who sign up by Friday, May 5 will be entered into a drawing for gifts cards for local vendors!

There are some stations, such as the lemonade stands, that you and your child can do together. Or you can ask that your Mother’s Day gift be a day off to volunteer. 

Please invite friends and family to sign-up with you to enjoy a three-hour gig volunteering in a garden – welcoming our guests and meeting fellow David Lubin families. This is our biggest fundraiser of the year, and we need your help!

Tickets are on sale now!

In partnership with Sacramento Theatre Company, David Lubin Musical Theater is proud to announce that our students will be staging Shrek the Musical, Jr.
