Birney Rummage Sale and Pancake Breakfast New Date

Saturday, May 15th

It is cleaning time, so get through those closets, garages and junk drawers, and help raise money for Birney Elementary while you simplify your life. You have two great options for your treasures.

1. Reserve a space to sell your wares
2. Drop off your treasures for the PTA to sell at their table (which will raise funds to help the PTA sponsor assemblies and field trip for our students)

Families, Crafters and Artists Welcome!
This will be a community wide event, and we can only accommodate 50 vendors. Shaded spaces are approximately 9 ft x 20 ft, and are available on a 1st paid, 1st reserved basis only. Unshaded spaces are slightly larger (canopies are welcome). The Birney PTA will provide all advertisement prior to the event and pick-up of USABLE discards afterward! (a list will be provided of items that can not be left behind, on the day of the event or you can download it here)

There will also be refreshments available.

Starting on Tuesday, April 20th there will be a drop off bin
in front of the school in the morning and after school until 5:30 pm.

The rummage sale and pancake breakfast will be held on the playground at Birney Elementary Saturday, May 15 from 6:30 am - 2:00pm (gates open to public at 8:00 am)

Community rally in Balboa Park to support public education

On May 8, there will be a community rally in Balboa Park to support public education funding. This event is being organized by Educate for the Future, by an independent grassroots organization of parents, community leaders and educators. It is inspiring to see the San Diego community come together to support the education of our children and to support the needs of our schools. This rally is a positive opportunity for parents to demonstrate their support for public education funding at this critical time for our district.

Please pass on this information to all your friends and family.

San Diego Victory Gardens Fundraiser

Victory Gardens San Diego was a great help with our own Birney Garden. Tomorrow night they are having a fundraiser, so if you can help them and win some prizes too, all the better.

Wednesday, March 24
A fundraiser/mixer for Victory Gardens San Diego from 5:30pm to 7:30pm at The Linkery. In addition to some tray-passed appetizers, they'll offer food pairings with beer and wine, and $5 glasses of Steph's Mixtape wine.

More importantly, a lot of great people from the Victory Gardens movement will be there, and a lot of people from all the other San Diego food organizations that are working hard to make our community more self-sufficient and more delicious. There's no cost to come to the event, and the VGSD folks will be raffling off some great prizes including a free garden for your (or a friend's) house! More details at The Linkery.

They'll also be serving regular dinner Wednesday, including (supplies permitting) their pork belly main dish.
