FARM WORKDAY AND SHEEP SHEARING

This Saturday, May 10th 9 AM to 1 PM (for whatever time you can spend)

If your family hasn’t made it to a Farm Workday yet this year, this is your chance to come out and do your part to sustain the Farm!! The Farm is maintained entirely through volunteer labor and funding. Please come join us in helping improve this great learning environment.

We’ll be getting the Farm ready for the summer and setting the stage for the beginning of classes next year.  We’re also prepping an area for a new building to house science and farm educational materials.

###PLUS Annual Sheep Shearing at 11:00 AM. Parents must accompany children, no drop-offs please###

Thanks for your great support of the Farm. If you have any questions, please call Alex Crichton at (650) 678-6824

OHLONE CORE VALUES
The foundation of the Ohlone alternative

• Trusting and respecting each individual
  Mutual respect, honesty and personal responsibility are key elements.
• Developmental approach
  Each student's curriculum acknowledges the uniqueness and developmental level of that individual.
• Growth and assessment
  An ongoing process of observation and feedback is utilized, designed to recognize individual growth and change.
• Meaningful, relevant curriculum
  Ohlone provides a "training ground for real life" so that each student becomes a self-directed, thinking, lifetime learner.
• Multi-dimensional learning
  Optimal learning focuses on the whole child: Social, emotional and academic development are of equal importance.
• Cooperation and collaboration
  Students of multiple ages work together on projects designed to help them share strengths, accept support & communicate ideas.
• Teacher-parent partnership
  Teachers and parents are partners who work together to support the students and school programs.
