Nixon’s 5th grade class has teamed up with Goodwill to raise funds for 5th grade promotion events. Bring your donations to Nixon on Saturday, 10/19 from 9 AM to 3 PM, and help us fill the truck!

Goodwill accepts gently used clothing, shoes, accessories, small household items, toys, games, puzzles, books, movies and music, E waste, small electronics at their drives. All items should be under 50 pounds.

Donated goods are sold in area Goodwill stores and online with more than 91% of revenue earned going back into the mission to provide job training and other great programs for people and families in our community.

You get to give items a “second life” and keep them out of landfills – it’s a win-win! So, clean out your basements, organize your garages, and straighten your closets. It’s time to bring your treasures to the donation drive. The more you bring the more good you do!

WildMind educational programs will bring science and environmental literacy alive next Monday! Our students will learn to think like scientists, appreciate our connectivity with animals, the environment and each other, while having fun learning science!

There will be intriguing animals who will spark our students’ curiosity and increase their knowledge of California’s wonderful natural history. Students will gain insights into the secret lives of the intelligent and ecologically important animals that live around us.

This program is aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
