Welcome back to all of our returning and new families. Time is flying by – we are already into the second half of September and the year is off to a great start! So much has been done to get our school in top shape for the year. Our enrollment is up (our 2/4s classes are currently full and a waitlist has been started.) All of the teachers, students and families are excited for the year ahead.

FUNDRAISING
Our fundraising efforts are underway. The Mixed Bags sale is on now until Sept 30. Each family received a packet in their folder with the complete details of the campaign. Sample bags are on display on the porch and an email was sent out that can be forwarded to friends and family. You can place orders with the hard copy form and write a check or order online at: www.mixedbagdesigns.com Our school ID is #135884. All orders must be submitted by Sept 30.

Don’t forget to download the PRCP GoodSearch toolbar (see the link on the left hand column of this page).  It installs into your browser (IE/Firefox, no Safari yet) and provides a search box with PRCP designated as the organization to support. It will also notify you of GoodShop merchants that donate a portion of your online purchases back to our school. There is even the option to register debit/credit cards with their GoodDining program and earn more funds for our school when you dine at their participating merchants. You can find out all about it at their website. Bottom line, the individual sums may not be huge but they do add up over time. Our first year in this program our school received over $400!!

We can also earn easy money for our school through the Escrip program. Register your Vons Club Card and every time you shop a percentage of your total will be donated to PRCP. Its really that simple! You can register directly online or send us your club card number and phone number associated with it and we can enter it for you. Again these funds are available to our school at no cost and very little effort and can really supplement our fundraising efforts if we all participate.

SCHOOL T-SHIRTS
You can still order a PRCP t-shirt for your child and/or yourself. We would really like to have all students purchase a t-shirt so that during field trips we can quickly identify our group and also show off our school spirit. Youth shirts are $10 and Adults are $15. The order form is in the office. Please submit your orders with payment by Sept 30.

NEXT BOARD MEETING
The next meeting of the Board of Directors is Tuesday, October 1st at 1pm at the school. The Board meets monthly on the first Tuesday. All parents are welcome to attend.

Thanks for all you do to support our wonderful school!
