The slap of jump-ropes fills the gym at Oak Knoll School in Menlo Park. The teens from Jumping for Joy, a
Santa Clara-based youth team, perform their high-energy routine by starting with basic jump-rope moves that accelerate into complicated, precision stunts. After school, students inspired by the performance can participate in jump-rope clinics, and go home with a rope and skills to pass along to their classmates. The performance isn’t just about enter-taining kids on a recent school day. Surging enrollment in the Menlo Park City School District is crowding the playgrounds, and educators are looking for ways to motivate students to get exercise, especially exercise
that takes up a minimal amount of space. Jumping rope fits the bill, and it’s one of a myriad of clever ideas funded annually by the Menlo-Atherton Education Founda-tion’s Jeannie Ritchie grants.

about native Ohlone people by having them try their hands at spear-throwing games, grind-ing acorns, and starting a fire without matches. “They were hanging on every word,” Ms. Boatright says. “(Mr. Gutierrez) sings with them, gives them a hands-on introduction to the way (the Ohlone people) lived, in a way a textbook can’t do.” Students got to grind acorns, dress up in traditional clothes and play games that helped hone hunting skills. They also found out that traditional women’s work was harder than it looks, as they attempted to carry a basket loaded with acorns that hangs from a forehead strap, Ms. Boatright says. “You have to bend down without dropping the basket,” she explains. “They spilled hundreds and hundreds of acorns.” Cindy Guerra, another third-grade teacher at Oak Knoll, says that Mr. Gutierrez has an activ-ity that helps illustrate just about every concept the students have been taught in class. “He, in my opinion, is the best because he is Native American, he practices all his customs and traditions, and he doesn’t miss a beat,” Ms. Guerra says. The Hands-On History pro-gram has three parts, starting with the Ohlone Indian program. Students also take a trip to the historic Woodside general store as part of the exploration of Califor-nia history and westward expan-sion, and this week, students will get a surprise visit from “Oh Suzannah.” Suzannah is played by former teacher Laura Steuer, who comes in costume and in character as a young woman who traveled to California with her family in horse-drawn wagon. She tells stories based on histori-cal accounts and diaries from the Gold Rush era, she says. “I say to them, ‘No one knows it like I do, because I was there!’” Ms. Steuer says. At Laurel School, the kinder-garteners in the district’s bilin-gual Spanish immersion pro-gram were the entertainment at last month’s Spanish culture day. With help from teachers Benja-min Salas-Velasco, who is from Spain, and Andrea Vereau, the two immersion classes learned a flamenco dance routine and performed for their classmates to kick off the day-long event. Accompanied by a guitarist and led by a real flamenco dancer, the girls swish their ruffled skirts
and the boys, in broad-brimmed hats and dotted sashes, clap and stamp to the music. The audience learned to count and sing the simple song in Spanish, rocking the multi-use room with shouts of “Ole!” before heading out to art activities followed by an authen-tically Spanish lunch of paella. Earlier in the year, students celebrated the culture of Peru, and in May, they’ll explore Mexican culture. The program is designed to expose students outside the immersion program to the diversity within the Span-ish-speaking world, as well as bring together Laurel’s bilingual immersion kindergarteners with their first-grade counterparts at Encinal School. The Jeannie Ritchie grants are named for one of the founders of the Menlo Park-Atherton Education Foundation, and in the past 24 years, it has doled out about $500,000 in grants. A panel of teachers and foundation board members vote on applica-tions that are submitted anony-mously, judging them on their relevance to the curriculum, as well as their creativity and inno-vation. Ms. Boatright, the Oak Knoll teacher, says that without the grants, there wouldn’t be a way to fund a program like the Hands-On History that her third-graders so enjoyed. Of course, the grants are only a small part of what the educa-tion foundation funds every year. Foundation grants made up almost 7 percent of the Menlo Park City School Dis-trict’s annual budget last year, funding everything from librar-ians to science curriculum mate-rials, music classes to profes-sional development for teachers. Jeannie Ritchie grants made up 13 percent of the foundation’s $1.8 million grant to the district last year. A

Konrad SchoebelDeveloped instrumentation tape recorders
Konrad Schoebel, a resident of Atherton and Portola Valley, died March 1. He was 86. Mr. Schoebel earned a bach-elor’s degree in mechanical engi-neering and optics from the Academy of Applied Technology in Munich, Germany. He came to United States in 1951 to pursue a career in the magnetic tape recording industry. In 1957, he founded Precision Instrument Co. and developed and manufac-tured various advanced instru-mentation tape recorders for com-mercial and military applications, his family said. In 1974, he started his second company, Precision Echo Inc. In 1984, he sold his company to DRS Technologies of Oakland, New Jersey.
He was a guest lecturer at U.C. Berkeley’s graduate school of busi-ness, and a director of the German Chamber Of Commerce in San Francisco for 10 years. Mr. Schoebel traveled exten-sively, and counted a trekking trip to Nepal and Mount Everest as the highlight, family member said. He was an early member of the Alpine Hills Tennis Club in Por-tola Valley, the University Club and the St. Francis Yacht Club. For 20 years, he enjoyed racing his boat on the San Francisco Bay and won many trophies in the Danforth Ocean Racing Series, his family said. He volunteered as an AYSO soccer referee. He is survived by his wife, Chris-tiane Schoebel of Portola Valley; his children David Schoebel of Woodside and Peter Schoebel of Herndon, Virginia; and three grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorial dona-tions be made to Woodside Priory School in Portola Valley.

Children’s room at library reopensBy Renee BattiAlmanac News Editor
A half-day of kids’ activities and festivities is planned for Saturday, March 27, for the
grand reopening of the children’s room in the Menlo Park Library. The room, which soon will have a neon sign naming it the Children’s Corner, was closed for months for the renovation proj-ect; the children’s section moved to the library’s basement during that time. Whereas the old children’s room had no computers for children to use, the renovated space has six standard computers, three early-literacy computers for children learning to read, and a self-check-out computer. There are also new shelving, desks and chairs, and carpeting. The walls are newly painted, and kids will have covered ris-ing benches to perch on during the popular storytime events. The storytime area is in front of windows that look out on Alma
Street — a favorite place for kids to watch passing trains. The $500,000-plus renovation was paid for largely by private donations through a fundraising effort of the Menlo Park Library Foundation. Donors were given the chance to name items in the room — from shelving to com-puter stations. Children’s Librarian Michelle Barrese said that, within the last four years, there has been a “tre-mendous growth” in the demand for children’s and teens’ services. For example, circulation of mate-rials for that age range increased by 142 percent; attendance at pro-grams has increased by 595 per-cent; and attendance for school-age programs has increased by 614 percent, she said. With the renovation, the teens’ section was moved to a nearby space in the main section of the library, making room for the new features for younger kids. The children’s room reopened March 19. The Saturday grand opening will include visits by Bos-
wick the Clown, Raul the Balloon Artist, and Miss Angela, who will tell stories from 11:15 to 11:45 a.m. and 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. The celebration will also include a scavenger hunt designed to give kids a chance to get acquainted with their new room while having lots of fun, says Jane Wyman of the Menlo Park Library Founda-tion. Ms. Wyman co-chaired, with Nancy Flowers, the founda-tion’s fundraising effort. There will also be a March 25 wine and cheese event for signifi-cant donors from 6 to 8 p.m., during which Sarah Ghandour, a Menlo-Atherton High School student and prize-winning cellist, will perform. A
The grand reopening of the chil-dren’s room at the Menlo Park Library is set for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 27. There will be many activities for kids. The library is at 800 Alma St. in Menlo Park. Call 330-2500 for more information.

Summer school set for major changes in MP districtBy Andrea GemmetAlmanac Staff Writer
Traditional summer school is a thing of the past in the Menlo Park City School
District. At the March 10 meeting, the board voted 5-0 to drop the existing program, due to budget cuts. It will be replaced with yet-to-be-created programs specific to each of the K-8 district’s schools. Superintendent Ken Ranella originally suggested eliminating summer school entirely, but that idea didn’t sit well with school board members. Menlo Park isn’t the only local district that contemplated drop-ping summer school entirely. State funding restrictions on summer school money were loosened, so that the cash can be spent on other programs. With California districts bracing for big cuts in state funding, the option to use summer school funding for other purposes has been very tempting.
Menlo Park will receive $42,000 in state funding for summer school, according to Mr. Ranella. “I’ve always been highly sup-portive of our summer school. I think most of it was my idea,” he said. “But there comes a time when you can’t afford it.” Instead of a program that costs almost $97,000 to serve 90 regular education students in grades K-5, each of the district’s principals has been given $10,000 and leeway to create a program. The summer “academic inter-vention” could take place on each school’s campus, or off-site in the students’ own communities. Rather than lasting a typical half-day for several weeks, it could be spread out over the summer, with students getting small-group or individual tutoring. There are a lot of possibilities, but as yet, no solid plan of action has been articulated to the public. Several parents at the meeting
expressed doubts about ending a well-liked and successful program and replacing it with an unknown. “It worries me that on one side, there is a great program, and on the other side, there is big ques-tion mark,” said district parent Lisa de Avila. Board president Jeff Child pointed out that the bulk of the cuts for summer school are com-ing from budgets for transporta-tion and administrative costs. “Last year, we spent $51,000 on teachers, this year we’ll spend $40,000, and if (the principals) need more, we’ll give it to them,” Mr. Child said. Encinal Principal Allison Liner called the opportunity to create a new summer program “exciting.” “I think we will do a good job of instructing children through this model,” said Mr. Ranella. “I think it will become a model for other districts that are cutting summer school.” A
Gordon Russell saluted for lifetime of achievement Portola Valley resident and venture capitalist Gordon Rus-sell is one of six honorees in this year’s “Lifetimes of Achievement” awards for outstanding contri-butions to their communities, given annually by the nonprofit Palo Alto-based Avenidas, which serves the elderly of the Midpen-insula and their families. The honorees were chosen from among 39 nominees and announced at a private reception on Thursday, Feb. 10, in Palo Alto. A garden party to which the
public is invited is set for May 16 at Avenidas, 450 Bryant St. Go to avenidas.org for more information. Mr. Russell has a bachelor of arts degree from Dartmouth College, where he is a member of the school’s Native American Visiting Committee and Presi-dent’s Leadership Council. He has chaired the school’s medical school board of overseers. He has held several executive positions in the biomedical and health care industries and was,
for more than 20 years, a general partner at Sequoia Capital. Locally, he has served as a vol-unteer for health care initiatives and was a board member of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and East Palo Alto’s Ravenswood Family Health Center, a nonprofit that treats recent immigrants and the uninsured. He is the father of one son and two stepsons, one of whom is the current mayor of Vancouver, Canada, site of the 2010 winter Olympics.

Ms. Robinson grew up in Casablanca, Morocco. She met her future husband, William Robinson, there in 1952, when he was serving at a U.S. Air Force base. As neither spoke the other’s language, they communicated solely through a French-English dictionary in the first year of their relationship, according to family members. The couple moved to San Fran-cisco in 1955, and in 1964 to Menlo Park, where they raised four boys. After the children were grown, Ms. Robinson worked as a hair stylist in Menlo Park. She was a member of the Beth Jacob syna-gogue in Redwood City, and was close with many of its members. Ms. Robinson is survived by her
