ATTENTION ALBERTSONS SHOPPERS!
PTSA is offering you the opportunity to participate in a great philanthropic program that won’t cost you a cent. Albertsons currently has a promotion where you get FREE Rachel Ray Dinnerware by collecting reward stickers (1 sticker for every $10 spent) and then redeeming them in-store. Since most of us are probably stocked up on this stuff, wouldn’t it be nice to collect stickers and then donate the dinnerware to Human Options (an Orange County shelter). Please hold on to your stickers (keep ’em in a baggy) and bring them right into the administration office – there’s a yellow box on the reception table near Jodi’s desk. Please contact Natalie or Melissa Pearl via ausra@cox.net should you have any questions. This promotion goes on through December so we’d love to see how many we can collect by Winter Break! Thank you kindly.

USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN DROPPING OFF AND PICKING UP STUDENTS
We have had reports that there are unsafe drop off and pick activities happening up on Paseo de Colinas and Del Cerro. These are the reports we received:
1) Students cross Del Cerro at will and out between cars. Fewer and fewer use the cross-walk.
2) Parents pick students up IN the street, NOT parked.
