FROM YOUR PTA

HELP WANTED:

Classroom field trips are approaching FAST!  The only way we can make fieldtrips happen is with Parent Volunteers.  In the past, field trips have been cancelled due to lack of parent chaperones resulting in many disappointed faces!  Let’s not let that happen again…if you have not done so, please complete the attached volunteer packet as soon as possible!  For the safety of our children, a TB test and fingerprinting/background check must be completed by all volunteers.  Yes, it does take a little bit of time to get the TB and finger prints done, but the process is simple, relatively quick and worth the look on your child’s face to have a parent help out.  Fingerprints tests are good for all your years at the Hayward School District and TB tests are good for 4 years.  Please take the time to do this…even if you can only help out just once…we as parents need to be there for our children and their school!  PTA will subsidize $30 towards the fingerprinting process – so you only pay $31.   It may take up to 4 week for fingerprints to clear, so print out the form and get started today!

 

STONEBRAE RECYCLING PROGRAM:

Please see the below from fellow Stonebrae mom, Renee Janaway


Stonebrae Parents,

 

Last year Stonebrae was finally able to start mixed recycling at school and now it will begin organics recycling (compost) at the end of this month.  Kick-off week is Jan. 30 - Feb. 3.

 

In order to make this a success, we need parent volunteers during kick-off week to help at lunchtime.  As a volunteer you would simply help students sort their trash at the tables as well as at the disposal station to help them get the hang of what goes into trash vs. recycling vs. compost.  The lunchtime commitment for M, T, Th, F is 11:50 - 1:20, for Wed. it is 11:00 - 12:30.  It is preferable if you can stay for the entire lunch period but, please, do whatever you can!

 

If we do it right, the hope is that Stonebrae will be able to drastically reduce the amount of trash it produces and save a bit of money for our cash-strapped school!

 

If you are able to help out, please notify me at reneejanaway@yahoo.com ASAP with the day(s) you are available.

 

Thank you!

Renee Janaway
