BIG thanks to Mukta and Amy and Lena for eight weeks of time, talent and energy to plan, organize and execute Tiger Games on behalf of the entire Teach community! This energetic event accomplished a full 15% of the budget by connecting with corporate sponsors and empowering students to engage neighbors, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles and the like. Please find a few moments in the coming weeks to thank your Teach student plus friends, family, neighbors, and sponsors.. and to also congratulate yourself on the success of Teach Elementary's awesome athletic fundraiser! As you can tell.. parent involvement is key to so much of what your student's teacher is aiming to accomplish this year.

It's here.... TIGER GAMES 2015

Be sure to check with your student, Tiger Games has begun! Yesterday we kicked off our student generated fundraiser with a fun assembly. Your student should have come home with a sponsorship envelope that includes information regarding our Tee Shirt Sponsorships (we need more!!!!), how to collect pledges and our family pizza lunch on October 30th.

Help your student earn sponsors by having them send family and friends to: www.teachboosters.com to make a donation to our school. Your student can earn raffle tickets for each pledge that they earn. We are doing a raffle every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and your child could earn gift cards to Jamba Juice, ITunes and Starbucks. The 
student that earns the most money for their grade level will earn a KINDLE FIRE!!

If your child gathers pledges in person, have them record them on their envelope and hold their money AT HOME until Oct. 29th. If they bring their envelope to school on Monday, Wednesday and Friday their pledges will be included in the raffle.

All of their hard work will be rewarded with a Tiger Games Field Day on Oct. 30th. Classes will compete against each other by grade level and the winners will earn bragging rights and a TROPHY! The class that earns the most money also will have a ROOT BEER FLOAT party.

If you would like to help or have any questions please contact:

Amy Daane at amy@havenslo.com 805-234-0621 or
Mukta Naran at muktan@charter.net 805-550-4431
  
Thank you for supporting our students!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to making this event a HUGE SUCCESS for the future of our amazing school!
