Over the last three days California has experienced a historic heat wave and lightning siege that has resulted in more than 300 new fires. In our district alone, we are currently responding to the continued threat of the LNU Lightning Complex Fire that has already burned more than 131,000 acres. Given the speed of these developments, it is important that we all keep a close eye on developments related to road closures, evacuations, and shelters locations, for our safety and the safety of our family friends and neighbors.
Please visit the Cal Fire website for the most up-to-date information on the LNU lightning Complex Fire. If the website is down, live updates are also available on both Cal Fire LNU Twitter and Facebook accounts.

For those who do not know, Brenda Hensley tragically lost her home yesterday due to fire. She, her husband, Ron, and their cat, Merlin could use any help that you can provide. If you are new to Wood, Brenda is our Math Department Co-Chair, Math Co-Coach, VTA Treasurer, VTA Bargaining Chairperson, NEA Resolutions Committee Member, and CA Resolutions Secretary. She does amazing things for all of us everyday and now it’s our turn to return the favor.
If you’d like to help, Brenda has requested donations sent to her Venmo account, @Brenda-Hensley. She has also requested gift cards to Raley’s, Kohl’s, The Nugget, Petco, and Target. Virtual gift cards may be sent to the email address brenhen70@gmail.com. Brenda has asked that we not set up a GoFundMe at this time.
I have a small list of items that are more immediate needs. Please respond to this message if you’d like to purchase from that list so we avoid too many duplications.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide! Please share as you feel appropriate.
