Schools

Plop These School-Boosting Events on Your Calendar

Plenty of options are out there if you're one of the good guys with a desire to support local schools.

There are still four Saturdays and Sundays left in April to have a fine brunch at Finnegan’s Marin. Just mention , and the fine Finnegan’s folks will give 15 percent of your bill back to OLL.

On Monday, April 23, head over to with a copy of the flier to get 15% back from your lunch or dinner. (Ignore the part of the flier that says “Hill Middle School.” No former middle school will be getting any cash!)

Here’s a reminder that  is stepping up once again to support  through the “Drive One 4 UR School at Journey Ford” on Sunday, April 29. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., come in, test drive a new Ford car or truck, and Ford Motor Company will kick in $20 to the NHS sport of your choice and Journey Ford will kick in another $5 to the NHS Sports Boosters general fund. It’s a snap. It only takes about 15 to 20 minutes. I can speak from experience on this one: there is no pressure to buy. (Although if you’re of the mind to buy, I’m guessing they’ll let you.) Anyone 18 or older with a valid driver’s license can drive.

Time is also running out to support riders in the annual Tour of Novato and FunFair on Saturday, May 5. There will be lots to do that day: ride a 12K, a 50K or even a 70K, do the 5K walk, have a blast at the FunFair Carnival & Education Showcase at the finish line. Make sure you register now if you’re going to ride. If you can’t ride, how about choosing a rider to sponsor? I’m happy to offer suggestions if you don’t know any of the riders yourself. Of course, they’ll all be riders supporting my kids’ schools. See the uploaded flier for more information.
