Once again Adobe Bluffs PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is offering “Hassle-Free” as its primary fundraising event. This is a quick and easy way to raise funds without having our children be ‘door to door’ sales reps. 

Please remember that without your donations many of the programs PTA supports such as AB Games, Winter Jamboree, Mileage Club, Arts Attack and Art Show, Dad’s Lunch, Science Day and Celebrate Diversity Day become too costly and unfortunately are lost in educational budget cuts.  We urge you to consider contributing to help keep the Adobe Bluffs spirit strong and vibrant! 

Look for the “Hassle-Free” section on the Adobe Bluffs PTA Order Form which came home in your child’s First Day Packet. Remember, even if you do not contribute please return your Order Form with your student’s name, your name and phone number by September 1, 2009 to be entered into a draw for local merchant gift cards.  Thank-you for your continued support of Adobe Bluffs PTA!

Your PTA (Parent-Teacher Association) is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of our children in many ways including sponsoring programs.  Each year, funds raised from membership are specifically earmarked for a particular cause.  This year donations will go towards literacy support.  In your first day packet there was a membership form, if you need another one, please download one here and turn it in today!  We offer two levels of membership.  We encourage, you to join at the Gold Level!  If you would like to read more about the benefits of membership, refer to the membership section.

Thank you  for supporting the PTA and the teachers in the classroom!

Budget Crisis 

Thank you for your collective efforts to contact legislators and the Governor on behalf of public education funding. We have obviously made a difference in Sacramento.   There has been revisions to the original budget cut proposal.  Please see the full page on the Budget Crisis for more information.

Did you know that Adobe Bluffs can earn thousands of dollars with your store club cards and your regular grocery shopping?  You save money with store discounts and our school earns money at the same time with no extra out of pocket costs to you.  A Win-Win situation! 

 

If you have already registered your Vons (eScrip) and Albertsons cards, you’re all set!  THANK YOU!  There’s no renewal for Albertsons and we’ll automatically renew your Vons card, if you forget.  During the summer, Ralphs launched a new ‘Ralphs Rewards’ program.  We NEED you to register your new RALPHS rewards cards before August 31st!  Go to www.ralphs.com today!

If you have other Vons or Albertsons cards or have grandparents, aunts & uncles, please register those cards as well.  The more cards we register, means the less fundraising we have to do and the more we can do for our children.
