What's Happening in the Garden?

 Balboa has the biggest and best native plant gardens of any school in San Francisco. If you want to help maintain them, please contact:

Bettie Holaday 415-564-3379 bettie_holaday@lycos.com

Gulls, pigeons, and ravens are keeping a watchful eye on student lunches. Summer blooming plants are finishing up and dropping their seeds. Fall bloomers, like scarlet hummingbird fuchsia and the currants, are just starting. Mostly, fall looks like a quiet time of year because many plants and their seeds are dormant, but there is much hidden activity. A host of invertebrates break down detritus, returning nutrients to the soil for next spring's flowers. Bumble bee queens hibernate in their underground burrows while hunting wasps catch invertebrate prey in the detritus to feed their young. Butterfly larvae fatten on leaves before pupating overwinter. Black phoebes hunt for insects while currants, manzanitas, and toyons attract other birds with their berries. Fall is the ideal time to get the garden in shape for next spring and summer!

Dear Balboa Students, Families, and Friends,

826 Valencia's tenth annual Great San Francisco Personal Statement Weekend will be held next weekend, October 20th and 21st, at Mission High School. Last year one hundred and sixty one students from across the district received free one-on-one support on their college application essays over the course of two days. This year we are hoping to serve more students than ever before—particularly students who hope to be the first in their families to attend college in the U.S.

Here’s how it works: 826 Valencia will have trained tutors on call to give individualized attention to students in the process of writing their college application and scholarship essays, whether they’re just starting, almost finished, or somewhere in between. We’ll also provide computers for easy editing as well as brain food to keep students going.

We are counting on your help to spread the word to seniors about this valuable resource. Registering as a student is easy and free—just follow this link for information and sign-up. Please let me know if you are interested in event fliers and/or posters. Thank you for the work that you do everyday, and we appreciate you connecting students with this amazing opportunity.

In Partnership,
