Children's Charitable Projects for the Holidays

Our generous children have created several worthy projects to help their fellow man this holiday season. Please consider supporting one or all of these projects:

FOR KIDS FROM KIDS TOY DRIVE

This drive is unique in that you can give a specific gift to a specific child right from their wish list.

The students of Teach and Bishop's Peak schools want all of us to think of the homeless children around us during the holidays.  When you are purchasing gifts for the children in your life, please consider also getting a gift for a homeless child.  Donations of new, unwrapped toys will be collected in the library after the Thanksgiving break.  You may choose to either give a specific gift to be matched to a child from their wish list or give any gift that you think a child might like.  If you choose to give a gift to a specific child, ideas from the children's wish lists will be available at the collection box.  Simply take the tag with the gift idea and attach the tag to the item when you leave it in the collection box.  All the donations for gifts remain local and go directly to children in need within our community.  The gifts will be distributed during the holidays to the children served by the Prado and Maxine Lewis shelters and to the children identified as being in need within San Luis Coastal Unified School District.

HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE

The Bishop's Peak Student Council is doing a food drive for their Community Service Project.  They have two barrels at school, one in the library and one outside the office.  The last day of the drive will be December 16.  Most needed items:  canned fruits and vegetables, canned meat & tuna, canned soups, canned beans, peanut butter, spaghetti, dry cereal and rice.  Thank you for your kindness!

SUPPORT PACIFIC WILDLIFE CARE

Students are collecting donations for Pacific Wildlife Care in Morro Bay.  If you would like to help, please put your donations in the dropbox in the library.  You could save an animal's life today!  Items needed are on the wish list on the donation box and at pacificwildlifecare.org.  Some suggestions are:  unsalted peanuts, old newspapers, soft, fluffy or fuzzy blankets and towels, Gerber baby food in these flavors:  chicken with chicken gravy or mixed vegetables.  Thank you for your kind support!

It's so nice to see our generous children take action in their community to better the lives of the less fortunate.  Please support them in their endeavors.

Teach Boosters Meeting Minutes November 4, 2011

Teach Boosters Meeting Minutes
Nov. 4, 2011

Attendees: Karen Panasewicz, Taffy Gonzalez, Chantal Blanchard, Doris Kim, Kurt Rightmyer, Lori Shields, Nara Clark, Sunshine Cowgill, Paige Wright, Dan Block, and Jocelyn Leonard.

Meeting called to order at 8:35 a.m.

Welcome. Lori Shields had a correction for the Oct. 2011 meeting minutes. The correction is that Morgan Robertson is the co-representative, along with Lori Shields for the 4th grade classes. After the correction, Lori moved to approve October’s minutes. Taffy seconded the motion. All were in favor.

The students who participated made money on Genevieve. Call Altee to see how much your child earned. Taffy volunteered to call Altee regarding sending out statements to everyone, so they would know how much money they have made and how much they still owe for their study trips.

Class Representatives for the 4th grade let us know that the 4th graders had a great time at Astro Camp. Mr. Crabb had a question about where the Battle of the Books were. They have come in and are in the office. They need to be taped and labeled before they can be passed out to the different classrooms. The Boosters will be getting that taking care of that soon.

Vacancies: 6th Grade Representative and Bookfair Chair. The Bookfair is in the spring this year, Chantal may be willing to volunteer for this position…she is going to look in to what it involves. She is also working on the cookbook right now. An idea was brought up to have the creating of the cookbook, and cooking some recipes from the cookbook become one of the electives in January. Nara volunteered to help with the cooking portion if this becomes an elective.

New Business: The date for the Dinner/Auction is set for Saturday, April 21, 2012. Taffy is still looking at locations. It has been at the Country Club in the past, but Taffy is also checking out Café Roma as an option. Central Coast Gymnastics has said that they would hold a “Kids Night Out” on the day of the Dinner/Auction, as an option for where to take your kids while you attend the Dinner/Auction.

International Day is set for April 27. Chandrika Jaggia is the chairperson for this event. Please contact her if you have questions, or would like to volunteer to present for this event.

Paige and Kurt are working on script. The script has raised $437 on the first four orders this year.

We would like to put together a Welcome Call Committee, to help new families feel welcome and to answer any questions they may have about Teach. Nara, Jocelyn, Doris, and Taffy agreed to be on this call committee.

Mrs. Rosenfield got the grant she was waiting for in order to run a Math Day at our schools. She needs the Boosters to pay $1000 toward the costs of this day. Chantal moved to pay the $1000 for the Math Day. Nara seconded the motion. All were in favor.

Meeting adjourned at 9:27 a.m.
