Shop for a Cause
Los Gatos businesses are teaming up to donate a portion of their sales to the Butter Paddle, a nonprofit home goods store that supports local families and at-risk youth.
Romantiques, located at 51 University Ave., and French Lessons, at 14 N. Santa Cruz Ave., will donate 15% of all sales to the Butter Paddle from noon to 5 p.m. on March 14. Visit butterpaddle.com to learn more about the event.
Wooden Horse story time
On Sunday, March 30, The Wooden Horse will host a story time with local author Larry Gerston, who will be reading his “Spencer the Spider” series.
The toy store is located at 796 Blossom Hill Road; the event will take place at 5 p.m.. Visit woodenhorsetoys.com for more information.
Award for the books
Los Gatos High School’s 2023-24 yearbook, titled “Meet US,” earned a first-place award from the American Scholastic Press Association.
The high school has been recognized with the same award for its 2021-22 yearbook, and for student coverage of the local fires in 2021.
“School yearbooks are one of the most saved treasures by students,” Superintendent Heath Rocha said in a release. “This recognition is a testament to their hard work in capturing the spirit and stories of our school community.”
Defibrillators at parks
Automated External Defibrillators are now available at Blossom Hill Park and Creekside Sports Park in Los Gatos, after the town accepted a donation of the equipment from the Kyle J. Taylor Foundation last year.
The donation was part of the Los Gatos-based foundation’s broader efforts to help prevent sudden cardiac arrest in youth, after the organization’s namesake died at the age of 18 from the same condition.
