A big thank you to the teachers who have already volunteered to help out!

Next Scrip Order – due 2/11
Good news: You can now buy Target gift cards. Bad news: Borders is no longer available.
Scrip are the same gift cards or gift certificates that you would buy at the store. Participating retailers agree to sell scrip to our PTA at a discount. Families like yours buy (and redeem) the scrip for full face value, and our PTA keeps the difference as revenue. You’re basically raising money for the Lakeshore PTA through purchases that you would’ve made anyway.
Orders submitted by 2/11 will be delivered by 2/18.
A scrip form & retailer list came home with your child, but you can also get these from lakeshoreelementary.org under “Forms & Documents.”

TYPISTS NEEDED for the poetry book. This is a great way to contribute to the Lakeshore Community in the comfort of your home! Contact Toni Vedar
