Bake Sale Items Needed for 30th Anniversary Celebration
|
|
|
Calling All Bakers -- We need your help!
We expect a big turn out at our 30th Anniversary Celebration this Saturday, 6/3, which means we'll need a large amount and assortment of treats to sell at the PTA Bake Sale table. If baking is not your thing, store bought food (especially candy or items for those with food allergies) is very much appreciated as well.
Special Instructions: Please ensure that there are NO tree nut or peanuts in any food, whether baking or buying. Items need to be individually bagged to sell for $1.
If you can contribute, please email Annie at arobinson105@yahoo.com, so we can track our collection progress.
There will be a tub in the Puesta del Sol main office beginning today, May 30th to collect items. You are also welcome to bring them directly to the event.

Dining for Dinero Wraps up another Great Year
|
|
|
Thank You to all of the Families who Supported Dining for Dinero
Our May Dining for Dinero Event at Wayback Burgers earned $125 for the PTA. Thank you to all the families who came out to show their support, and a big thank you to Wayback Burgers for their generosity!
Our Dining for Dinero program has now concluded for the 2016-17 school year, after earning a total of $1433.02. We want to express our thanks and appreciation to the local restaurants who partnered with us and generously supported our PTA this year. Thanks also to the many families who participated in our Dining for Dinero Fundraising events!
A final huge thank you to Ericka Marini, our PTA chairperson, who did an awesome job this year putting all of her hard work into making these events successful. Ericka will be moving to the PTA Executive Board next year, so we are currently looking for another dedicated volunteer to take on this task moving forward. If you may be interested in this fun position, please contact our VP's of Fundraising.

LIBRARY NEWS
End of Year Book Return
Friday, 6/2 will be the last day for checking out books for this school year.
Why so early? It takes 2-3 weeks to get all books returned. All books MUST be in, or lost books paid for, before the school year is over.
As added incentive, each student who returns their books gets a raffle ticket to enter in a Library Reward Drawing. During the last week of school, I will pick out 40-60 raffle tickets and write the names of the winners on a chart outside the library door. Winners will get to come into the library and pick a prize.
Birthday Book Club Donations
Please send book donations by Monday, 6/12
. Check "Puesta del Sol Wish List" on Amazon to purchase a book in honor of your student's birthday. A very special THANK YOU to all parents and students who purchased or made a monetary donation for a new book to enhance the Puesta del Sol Library this year!!!!! Your donations keep our collection up to date with a variety of books that all students love. Thanks to those parents and students who kindly donated books from their own collections as well!
