The PTSA's final meeting is Wednesday, May 29th, from 6:30 to 8PM in the CCC (2nd floor of Admin Building).

At 6:15 a light dinner will be available consisting of chicken, vegetarian sides, and salad selections from Poulet.

We'll discuss follow-up developments to the previous meeting's math and student anxiety discussions to include:

-Math Peer Tutoring - Ramona Coates will give an update on progress made this year
-LANA, developed by Harvard/Stanford grad Nina Hooper, is a self-tutoring chat box web tool for Math 1 and 2 students; it is already loaded with module summaries; students can sign up at http://www.lana.education<http://www.lana.education/>
-Student Anxiety and Emotional Health - the PTSA has partnered with DOUGH to have a sustainable funding source to establish a BHS Wellness Hub to promote awareness of current resources on campus and provide funding for existing and new programs.
-DOUGH, developed by UCB senior Akbar Khan and used by UCB students, allows parents to credit student accounts with money that can only be spent on food at local restaurants; students can receive discounts and rewards and order ahead to skip the line. https://www.doughpay.co/parent

BHS's 2nd Spring Carnival is this Friday, May 31st from 2 to 5PM. This event is being sponsored by the Associated Student Body leadership, the Berkeley High Development Group, an arts grant from Tencue, and other groups. Many student clubs are participating with activities, by selling food to fundraise, etc.. Tell your kids to check out the PTSA table to learn how to use the math app LANA to study for Math 1 and Math 2 finals.
