Mo Magic Resource Guide
By Bob Barnwell

Mo’Magic has printed up an extensive Western Addition Summer Resource Guide, including numerous listings of summer programs offered to the youth of our area. This includes organization and contact information, ages served and a description of the programs. The guide can be seen at the website – www.momagic.org as well as requested on email at info@momagic.org.

Mo’Magic is a collaboration of many groups and CBO’s in our neighborhood. This resource guide should be used by all that are interested in finding activities to do over the summer. There is also an events calendar included in the guide. Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association actively collaborates with Mo’Magic and is grateful to have this guide available.

Back To School!

We are planning ahead for our annual Back To School event – hopefully with more parents this time. On Monday, August 25, the PTA will help welcome the kids and their families back to school. Planning will begin in early August. Contact Gail Baugh, community contact for John Muir PTA – g.baugh@sbcglobal.net / 415-265-0546 or Español & English co-president Lourdes Beltan, 415-410-5084 to help make this event successful for our families. 

Last year’s event featured healthy snacks, school supplies, crossing guards to remind drivers that school was back in session, and local and City officials welcoming the kids back to school. Please get involved with these leaders of tomorrow. You do not have to have children attending John Muir to be a member of the PTA. You only have to care about the children!

Patricia’s Green Clean Up

When: Saturday, July 19, 11 am–2 pm
Info: Henry 626 6906 or hostendo@dor.ca.gov
Join your neighbors and lend a hand with plaza maintenance. A Recreation and Park gardener will be on site with limited tools & supplies to help us tend the planting beds, sweep and clean the pavement, remove litter, prune palms, etc. To help, simply sho up.
If you have brooms, rakes, buckets, gloves or other tools to use or lend please bring them.

Teacher Appreciation Day

Principal Wheaton and PTA President Gail Baugh look on as Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi reads a proclamation before the student body at John Muir Elementary School’s Teacher Appreciation Day in May. Community Partners United members presented each staff member with a vase and flowers as thanks for their devotion to our kids.

Come Celebrate!

Neighborhood Baptist Church, in collaboration with Hayes Valley Community Partners United, will host a Community Block Party on Saturday, August 16, from 11 am to 4 pm on Buchanan Street between Hayes and Grove Streets. The Street will be closed and the event will include free food, entertainment, children’s activities, health screening, voter registration and community resource tables.
The Children’s Activities will be held at the Hayes Valley Playground and will include Skating, Arts and Crafts, Games, Basketball Tournament, Gardening and much more. Volunteers are Needed!
For more information, if you are interested in volunteering or would like to register for a resource table, please contact Neighborhood Baptist Church at (415) 621-8748 between the hours of 9:30 am and 3 pm Monday through Friday.

Summer Reading Kick-Off

Mo’Magic’s summer reading program kicked off at Yoshi’s on June 23rd. More details about this much-needed program are available in the President’s column and online at www.momagic.org. Statisics show that continued reading throughout the year, whether school is in session, or not, keeps kids from falling behind.
In order to get the kids excited, there were opportunities to read to the crowd, singing and hula hoop contests. As you can see from the photos, everyone participated – not just the kids. Beat Officer Ron Liberta showed his willingness to participate, but let’s just say the hula hoop won!
