That's how many minutes Phoebe Hearst participating students have logged since we started our Home Run Reader Challenge in November! Students have been logging their minutes of reading they complete outside of school hours. A tiered prize competition has over 40 students already reaching the HOME RUN level earning them a t-shirt, River Cats "swag" and a discounted ticket to a baseball game in May! Three classes have 100% participation, meaning every student is reading every night and logging their minutes! This is an outstanding accomplishment! We anticipate at least 200 students will attend the May River Cats as a result of their reading efforts!

Special Annoucement from Principal Egan
December 2, 2011
Dear Phoebe Hearst Families,
It is with excitement that I announce that Phoebe Hearst Elementary School will implement a Kindergarten program for the 2012-2013 school- year. While it has been many years since Phoebe Hearst has offered Kindergarten, there has been an ongoing demand to provide a seamless K-6 BASIC educational program in our area.
In keeping with tradition, Phoebe Hearst will provide focused and academically rigorous material to Kindergartners. Interested families will apply through Sacramento City Unified School District's Open Enrollment process in February. These families will then be invited to a screening and interview appointment. Students who meet our Kindergarten readiness criteria will be contacted and offered a slot in one of our new classes.
Program design and infrastructural upgrades will take place this summer to have a fresh and welcoming start for new students come September. No current students will be displaced to accommodate the new enrollment. Portable buildings will be added on our campus to house the influx of students.
Warm Regards,
Andrea Egan
Principal, Phoebe Hearst Elementary School
