El Cajon and La Mesa Safety Alert
At the end of last week, we had reports of two incidents of students being approached by strangers in vehicles on the way to school. These were completely separate issues where students were approached by adult male non-students and asked if they wanted a ride to school. When this was reported to the school, our School Resource Officer (ECPD Officer) Tina Greer was immediately contacted. Officer Greer took two reports and notified La Mesa and El Cajon Police Department. Since the time of the incidents the El Cajon Police Department has conducted extra patrol and surveillance of the areas in question. See Letter for further information and description.

Just like the firefighters who recently asked the community to "fill the boot" to support worthy charities, the GHS Educational Foundation is asking families to "pass the cap" to support teacher mini-grants, which helps our teachers continue classroom excellence and innovation in the face of harsh budget cuts for education. See the attached flyer for days when parents, alumni, and other volunteers will be at both GHS entrances with a Foothiller cap that needs filling! You can drive by and drop off your tax-deductible donation, or send it with your students. Or, make a direct donation at www.foothillerfoundation.com.

All investment decisions are 100% student driven. We are currently exploring investments in the Health Care and BioTechnology sectors as well as the possibility of investing in FaceBook when it goes public.
