Hundreds turn out to raise money for the nonprofit that supports our public schools. You can upload your own photos here.

Congratulations to all of the walkers and riders who participated in School Fuel's Tour of Novato on Saturday.

The weather was fantastic! The new location — downtown Novato on the blocked-off Sherman Avenue and the Novato City Green — was perfect to showcase all the businesses, clubs and local school talent participating in the FunFair. 

The event raised $73,462 as of Saturday. Didn't have a chance to donate? It is not too late, the website will be accepting donations until May 30.

Thanks, Robin Diederich, for sharing the photos with Novato Patch!

Ventress Totally understand your frustration. I continue to email Jim and use the button at the…Read More bottom of the front page to send comments about problems with the new format to the tech team. I suspect they don't care unless they are made to care. Brent really took Patch to heart and responded to every person as if they were all important. That is part of what made him such an exceptional editor. So far Jim has contacted me twice, once to chastise my use of the word terrorist and then to correct my spelling of Pat Eklund's name. I added a "c". I am not sure how to bridge the gap with the new guys but have not given up entirely due to the encouragement from Pete and Joe. They have renewed my belief that the news is for everyone and we mustn't allow trolls to take over.
