... of EVENTS & Fundraisers!
The word in the Starr King halls is that Spring Fling was LOADS OF FUN & the whole school feels supported from you all.
Did you know that the Rising Starrs After School Program of Starr King enrolls more than half of the students enrolled at Starr King?! With that many students--it's easy for us to be a continuation of the community that is built during the school day. Our staff have relationships with school day staff, we attend & support MANY school day events, and we align ourselves with the academic & climate visions of Starr King Elementary. Did you also know that we have all of the following Enrichments offered during our program [all available at no added cost]?!

Enrichments Students Automatically Enrolled with their Class or Team: *General Music *Food & Nutrition *Tech Bus/Tinkering *DJ Arts *Grade-Level Basketball Teams *Percussion *STEM in Soccer | Enrichments Students Enrolled Per Semester or Six-Week Cycle: *Violin *Cello *Mandarin *Swimming *Chess *YMakers/Tinkering |
And... all of those are intertwined with making sure our students have enough structured & unstructured time outdoors, as well as our Program Leaders each supporting youth in Academic [Homework] Time. Lastly, all of that just happens during Monday through Thursday. I'm sure you've seen the difference in rhythm on our Friday Club Days--if you haven't yet, ask your child what clubs they've been in all year (we have them pick two new ones every month)!
With that said... please read on to see how you can show support for all the hard work we've done this year!
Fire Up Your Feet 4/15-5/15 (whole month)
Have you seen that yellow bike rack by the office?! We all worked hard last fall to win that from a Kaiser Fundraiser. That was our FIRST TIME entering the contest--and we have high hopes of placing higher (and winning a bigger prize) this time around. PLEASE send us an email or just let any staff member know of ANY physical activities you do from now till Mid-May, and we can log it in our hours!

Urban City Walk 4/22 (Saturday)
The Rising Starrs After School Program is managed by Urban Services YMCA. We're one of the 14 branches of the YMCA of San Francisco, which means our staff has access to countless community resources. We are a true wrap-around service provider. The 2nd Annual Urban City Walk (3 miles) will be held THIS SATURDAY! and we've got a couple different ways for you to support us.
1) REGISTER TO WALK the three miles with us!
2) SPONSOR your child's Program Leader to walk
3) DONATE to our cause and name the whole Starr King After School Program
CLICK HERE or go to https://www.ymcasf.org/programs/urban-services-city-walk to choose one of the above &/or get more information.
Goat Hill Fundraiser 4/25 (Tuesday)
We've found a community partner in Goat Hill! They're sponsoring another Day of Dining, where all we ask is for you (and your family, friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc) to eat at Goat Hill (West Portal or Potrero Hill locations) at any time next Tuesday. Let them know you are dining for the "STARR KING AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM FUNDRAISER".
It was so inspiring, in the fall, when our whole team went to eat there for dinner and found ourselves surrounded by our Rising Starrs Families. We hope to get a bigger turnout this spring!
STEAM Night 4/26 (Wednesday) @ 5:30pm-7:00pm
It's finally here! We're a little more than a week away from STEAM Night! STEAM = Science Technology Engineering Art Math. For the past 2 years, we've hosted a science and art themed carnival for the entire school. Come one and come all -- you'll see your child build seriously amazing projects. Last year, students built homemade stomp rockets and craft boat races based on economic theory (seriously!). Everyone is invited -- and if you’d like to help out, please contact Maybelle Miranda ([email protected]). We are in need of volunteers!
REMINDER: After School Program is Closed 4/28 (Friday)
It's time for our annual ALL STAFF Retreat with Urban Services YMCA. You probably don't remember us telling you this back in September (hopefully you do!), but on April 28th--our program will not be in operation. These retreats are important for our staff, as this is the time we collaborate with our fellow YMCA colleagues and exchange ideas in the improvement of our work.
