Oak Avenue School went public with its “Extreme Makeover, School Edition” on the afternoon of Aug. 21. The Fab Five - all the Los Altos School District trustees - made a cameo appearance to cut the ribbon on the remodeled campus, then mingled with 500 parents, children and school staff as the Toot Sweet Jazz Band played Dixieland music. While PTA representatives recruited volunteers, children went on a scavenger hunt, and everyone enjoyed the hot pretzels and ice cream. Children got into the dedication of the new educational and play garden. Trustees Duane Roberts, Jay Thomas, Margot Harrigan, Victor Reid III and Bill Cooper were pleased to rive the ribbon on the clock tower, which faces the brick courtyard and main entrance to the school. Kindergartner Matthew Permut took a turn pumping water into the artificial creek bed that runs down the garden slope behind the school.

In Our Opinion

Editorial

We’ve recently covered the passing of two of this community’s most involved and committed volunteers, Lee Lynch and Billy Russell. They represented an era when people helped out, not so they could get their name on a building, but because it was simply the right thing to do.

There’s a new generation of volunteers hard at work right now in this community who are carrying on their legacy. The level of involvement in the recent Los Altos Relay For Life event bears this out.
