You may have noticed something new at Julian Elementary School! The small odd shaped parking lot in front of the Kindergarten and PreKindergarten has been transformed into an explorer ship playground. Our other playground is made for older students and our kindergartners often used it at the same time as the older elementary students. Last year we began our full year PreKindergarten program for 4 year olds with support from our local Methodist church’s Rose foundation. These new little people helped create the need for a small playground. Thanks to funding from our local planning group and Diane Jacob, we were able to get the playground and safety fencing in. A special thanks to Julian Asphalt and Mike Simser who donated materials and time to getting the project done. We had a special grand opening on Friday, September 15, where school board members Susan Slaughter and Wade Wylie were on hand to cut the red ribbon. Mr. Copeland also made hot dogs for all 4 and 5 year olds and the kids got to take the playground for the maiden voyage. The whole community came together to make this happen. The playground is open to the public after 4:00 P.M. on school days and daylight hours every other day.

One Book, One San Diego Reading Program Coming To The Library
Wednesday, September 30 the Julian fire house had visitors; Frank Ault and Joan Jones from the San Diego Regional Fire Foundation. The purpose of their visit was to signify the delivery of $26,265.00 in grant money the district has used to purchase a Zoll Autopulse which performs manual chest compressions during CPR. This piece of equipment will make CPR more reliable by providing steady and constant compressions, pressure and timing. The grant was made possible through a SDG&E grant and monies from their general fund. The Foundation also provided funding for a new Firefighter Gear Washer/Sanitizer. The new equipment is already installed and will be put into use immediately. The firefighters will appreciate the ability to clean their heavy garments properly.
Please join us at the Julian library and other people in San Diego County as we read the 2017 One Book, One San Diego book selection, "The Sandcastle Girls," by Chris Bohjalian. Books are available at the Julian Branch library to borrow and a book discussion will take place on
Thursday, October 26, 2017 at 10:30 AM. One Book, One San Diego is community-wide reading program now in its 12th season and currently includes more than 20 community partners. Started in 2006 by KPBS, the program encourages everyone in the region to read and discuss the same book. Bohjalian’s novel, a multigenerational tale that spans nearly 100 years, is initially set in Syria during World War I and focuses on the Armenian Genocide. The story is told by three different narrators, piecing together three generations of history with the most recent generation trying to better understand their heritage. “These days it is very important for me to tell people that I am the grandson of two Middle Eastern immigrants,” Bohjalian said. “We are a nation of refugees and immigrants. The novel is set in
Aleppo — yes, that Aleppo that has broken all of our hearts the last five years — and the city as it appears in the novel exists now only in romance and memory.” “It's important to the committee that we choose a book of high literary quality that's prime for discussions by all types of readers,” said One Book, One San Diego Program Manager Clare Pister. “This book is just right. It's beautifully written and makes an important, rarely told piece of history accessible to a modern audience.” “I highly encourage you to participate in this book discussion,” Baker says, “As we all can read the same book and come up with a different interpretation and have different pieces of the book that resonate with us.” Branch librarian Colleen Baker will lead the book discussion on Thursday, October 26 at 10:30 AM.
