Used Uniform Sale-Jackie Ruiz,—our last sale was “only” $307 which is lower than last years sales. We attribute this to a lower amount of donated items for cold weather. A suggestion was made to do some type of email announcing that one may drop off the clothing during CAR LINE.
Book Fair Coordinator, Andrea Scott—The event is February 13-16. The theme is the “Hawaiin Luau” We will be expanding the area outside of the Library. If you have any EXTRA LUAU /party props, we would love to borrow them for this event. WE will have a Hula Hoop contest, popcorn, and a guess the amount of candy runts in a jar. TEACHER WISH List for books— HRP’s need to email the parents so the teachers can get some extra books for the classrooms. NEED Volunteers for this event. See Andrea for sign up. Times are from 8:00am-8:30am and 2:00pm-4pm. We also need mini water bottles donated and The HRP’s can ask the parents to donate these.

We need Tricycles and/or bikes with training wheels. Parents are encouraged to attend. The official pledge sheets will be going out in the Friday folders. We will be tying this event in with the AHA and donating 10% of our donations to them. A “foot” will be displayed on that day with each participants name on it and the amount of donations he/she raised for the event. The school parking lot will be closed off that morning for the runners to use. Loretta also noted that you can go online to donate by credit card but please indicate what class/child this money should go towards. Loretta noted that each student should collect the monies ahead of time and suggested to get one lump sum vs. a per lap pledge. This donation is TAX DEDUCTABLE. Loretta’s office/staff will send out receipts after this event.
