The annual Rancho Shopping Center Pancake Breakfast is scheduled to be revived 8-11 a.m., Saturday, after having been canceled last year. The 45th event is being sponsored by Covington School and FIT, and proceeds will benefit the Los Altos-Los Altos Hills Relay For Life.

The breakfast will follow tradition with pancakes, sausages and orange juice. Cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children.

The Los Altos-Los Altos Hills Relay For Life, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is scheduled to start at 10 a.m. and continue for 24 hours, June 25 and 26, at Los Altos High School.

Breakfast organizer Tracey Downing of FIT was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2003. She began treatment as she proceeded with her plans to be married in February 2004.

Downing and her husband participated in the first Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Relay For Life last year. They are expecting their first baby this fall.

Relay For Life raises funds to help prevent cancer, save lives and diminish suffering from cancer. The event also raises awareness of cancer prevention, early detection, treatment and patient support.

For more information, call Jeanne MacVicar at 917-7979 or log on to www.losaltosrelay.com. Additional information about the relay will be available at the pancake breakfast.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

For the first time in five years, a public elementary school, Gardner Bullis, opened its doors last week in Los Altos Hills. For some, it was, metaphorically speaking, the last stitch removed from the old wound following the closure of the original Bullis-Purissima School in 2003.

For others, including the diehards who formed the successful Bullis Charter School, the sting of the Bullis closure lingers. But our sense is that for most Hills residents not part of the Loyola School coverage area, the opening of Gardner Bullis means the resurrection of a long-sought-after neighborhood school and the community benefits that come with it.
