o  Apply by Friday for Free Trip to Ensenada

   Students who want to participate in the Redondo Beach Sister
   Cities Youth Exchange Program to Ensenada on Feb. 4-6, should
   see Ms. Wesley or Ms. Frith for an application.  The forms
   are due on Friday, Jan. 7.  All expenses will be paid; you only
   need to bring spending money. Don't miss out on this great
   opportunity to learn more about the Mexican culture and language,
   and have fun while you're at it!  Sister Cities is raising money to
   pay for 8 students.

o  District Budget Reduction Meeting Saturday

   The School Board is conducting a Budget Reduction/Revenue
   Enhancement Community Forum on Saturday, Jan. 8, from 9-11am in
   the Lincoln School Auditorium.  Come out and represent the high
   school's concerns.  The board is being forced to make mid-year
   cuts because the district fell below the state-mandated 3%
   reserve.  

o  BCT Bus Line Now Running

   Don't forget that the new Beach City Transit (BCT) line #102 has
   replaced MTA line #215 as of Jan. 1.  This is the bus line many
   North Redondo Beach students use to get to and from school. You
   can access general information on the BCT lines at:
   http://www.redondo.org/depts/bdtpm/transit/beach_cities_transit.asp.
   The #102 route map and schedule are available at
   http://www.redondo.org/depts/bdtpm/transit/line_102.asp and
   http://www.redondo.org/depts/bdtpm/transit/102Schedule.pdf.

   If you haven't gotten a BCT card and monthly pass yet, you will
   need to pay $1 each way.  (My son received his card during the
   break, so I know they were mailed out although we still have not
   received his monthly pass in the mail.)  If you haven't yet applied
   for a BCT card, pick up an application in the Attendance Office.
