Full Moon Pot Luck
THIS MONTH FULL MOON POT LUCK
  IS A  TRIPLE CELEBRATION !!!
    JUNE STRAWBERRY or ROSE MOON
    CARRIE COX’S BIRTHDAY !!
    SUMMER SOLSTICE
WHEW !!! LOTS of ENERGY GOING ON HERE !!
Come on out to Jackass Flats June 20th 7:30
 for FOOD, FUN and VISITING .........
Bring a dish, or music and a chair ....
The month of June’s Full Moon’s name is the Full Strawberry Moon. June’s Full Strawberry Moon got its name because the Algonquin tribes knew it as a signal to gather ripening fruit.
  It was often known as the Full Rose Moon in Europe (where strawberries aren’t native).
  Honoring the solstice can remind us just how precious each day and season is, because the truth of its passing away is also acknowledged. Gifts need to be appreciated, not taken for granted. Some will use their religious ritual to raise energy for healing, for re-aligning and redressing environmental wrongs, or for strengthening the sense of being part of nature, not set apart and individual, but interconnected in a larger whole, including the past, present and future. Such is the power of participating in the turning of the wheel of the year.

What do YOU think?
If you think our students are spending too much time preparing for and taking too many high-pressure tests, here’s a chance to make your voice heard.
AUSTIN - The State Board of Education (SBOE) is issuing a survey in English and Spanish to seek public input about the state’s current assessment and accountability programs and gather suggestions for future program development. The survey will be open online to all Texans through June 30.
The information gathered from the survey and the Community Conversations will be compiled into a report and presented to the SBOE for its consideration at its July 19-22 meeting. Once adopted, the report will be provided to legislative leaders and the Texas Commission on Next Generation Assessments and Accountability.
The 15-member commission, created by the Texas Legislature, is to make recommendations for statutory changes to the state’s assessment and accountability systems. The commission report is to be submitted to the governor and legislature by Sept. 1.
The survey is available in English at http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2762440/State-Assessments-and-Accountability-Survey and in Spanish at http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/2851839/Encuesta-de-evaluaciones-y-responsabilidad-educativa-del-estado.
