The Knights Ferry School Site Council has three new members, Kim Cassaretto, Corrine Anderson and Jolene O’Neil. That was announced at the School Board meeting. Also at the meeting Superintendent Griffith told of the focus on playground safety by the insurers, so the yard duty personnel got walkie-talkies, eliminating the running to the office by a student if something happens.

Michel Griesner has been celebrating her birthday for many days. Children Lisa Lewis and Traci Griesner hired a limo and took Michel and friends to San Francisco where they had dinner at Scoma’s. Carol Davis hosted a birthday dinner for Michel and Gordon took her to Monterey where they stayed at the Spindrift and toured the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Sunday Michel went to see what the dog was barking at and it was a porcupine! The dog did not get near it thank goodness. There has not been a porcupine around for years.
