March 2010

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you for all of your help and support!

With your help and support, we have been able to prosper despite the budget cuts. With everyone’s continued support, I know that we will be able to have an even more successful 2nd semester despite the budget cuts.

We have come up with some great and easy ways for us to try to supplement some of those costs. If you are not already signed up with Vons, Ralphs, Albertsons, Food 4 Less, Target, Subway, etc. please do so.

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3!

All you have to do is register your club cards for Holmes Middle School & a portion of your purchase will come back to the school. How easy is that? We still have much more to look forward to in the months to come. A packet went home just before the Winter Break. Please make sure that you follow the directions so that we can ensure that your $ will come back to Holmes Middle School. If you need any help, please fill out the half sheet flier that was attached and we will sign your cards up for you! Don’t forget to use www.goodsearch.com every time you search and/or buy something on line using good search, they will donate $ to the school.

Join *GO LEAN* Walking Group!
Every morning @ 8:00am!
We look forward seeing all of you as we get back into shape & show
our kids what we’re really made of!!!

“Survival Kit” are still on sale for $20.00.
I can’t stress enough on how important it is for ALL of us to be prepared in case of an emergency.

I would like to thank those of you who have come by the Parent Center to visit, help & volunteer. I invite all of you to come by.
There are many resources for you through the Parent Center.
If you would like to volunteer at the school;
Copies, Library, etc., please call me @ (818) 678~4139

Again, I look forward to working with all of you!!

Thank you all for joining the PTSA!
Don't forget that membership is only $5.00 and is all year long.

We would like to thank all of you for coming out and supporting the monthly Family Nights. They have been a success. As you all know, with the economy the way it has been, we haven’t been doing any big fundraisers this past year. That has to change this year. Thank you for your support with the Spirit Cups Fundraiser. We have also just kicked off our donation campaign. Please support the school anyway you can.
And don’t forget to be prepared.
Get you Survival Kits while you still can.
