STAFF GIFT: MAKE A CONTRIBUTION BY DECEMBER 17
|
We'd like to
give a gift of thanks to the nearly 45 hard-working Miraloma School Staff members
who work tirelessly on behalf of our children.
These individuals support our teachers and our school and interact with our kids every day -- including our librarians, custodial staff, lunchroom staff, counselors, secretary, PE teacher,
and many others. We are asking Miraloma families to contribute to a cash gift for the staff by donating an amount that makes sense for your family here.
**We want to apologize to any families who had trouble donating last week thanks to a faulty link. It should be up and running now!**
Please make your donation by Monday, December 17th at 9 pm.

TRAFFIC FLOW: DRIVE TOWARDS SCHOOL ON ROCKDALE
|
This is a friendly reminder to please follow the traffic guidelines during morning drop off and drive only in the direction towards school on Rockdale and Myra. While they are both designated as two-way streets, they are not wide enough for two-way traffic flow and we have received complaints from neighbors who are having difficulty driving to work and school in the morning. Thank you for your help!
