On behalf of the Tingambato community I would like to thank the Korematsu Elementary School community for their generous donation [last year] of supplies for the English Summer School Program in Tingambato, Michoacan, Mexico. The Tingambatoan community was extremely touched by the thoughtfulness and generosity of our school community and the Summer English Program was a success!

A parent has reported that a bicycle that had been left over night on campus was gone in the morning. Remember that while Davis has a low record for many types of crimes, it makes up for it in bicycle thefts. In this case the bicycle was a locked-up Gary Fisher, turquoise blue-and-white mountain bike with 2 black baskets. The helmet, lock and everything were all taken. If anyone has information that may help in its recovery, please contact the police with the information.

Be sure to pick up your bikes later in the day if you can’t pick them up right at pick-up time to avoid a similar situation.
