| The 2010 Read-a-thon IS HERE! |
|
Your support is needed for the success of this program. The Read-a-thon fosters positive reading habits, promotes literacy and financially supports our school’s Art curriculum. With this program 100% of the proceeds go directly to Miraloma!! Our primary goal every year is to have every child participating in the program, whether they are able to solicit pledges or not; we all win by encouraging each child to read! Packets were delivered to your child today in their classroom. For those new to the program and fundraiser, It’s simple, your children:
Last year we raised a record $19,745.00! Let’s beat that!

| Order Your Yearbook Online - 3 More Weeks! |
| Preserve precious memories for you and your children by purchasing a
Miraloma Elementary School yearbook! Over 40 full color pages of
portraits and photos of special activities throughout the school year
will put a smile on your faces for years to come. Orders will be accepted through the month of February only. Books will be delivered during the last weeks of school in May. Our price of $20 helps the PTA reach important fundraising goals, so all books must be purchased, including those by the 5th graders. 
Please use our secure and easy online order form, or print out this form and
return it with a check to the locked PTA box by February 26.

| Feeling Helpless about the Budget? Start Taking Action |
| Say NO to (even more) Budget Cuts! Parents at Sherman are working hard
to get a grassroots advocacy effort going among SF public school
parents to stop the budget insanity - let's join them! One of the first
events is an open SF Town Hall meeting on February 25 moderated by Michael Krasny, host of KQED's award-winning Forum. We are hoping to get at least 50 Miraloma parents there and would love a standing room only house to show our policy makers that enough is enough. Here are the specifics. |
| Fundraiser at Pacific Catch Restaurant |
The Delicious Pacific Catch (9th Ave @ Lincoln) is helping us again this year with a February restaurant fundraiser!
|
| First Friday |
| There will be scrip, logo wear, Pacific Catch vouchers, Miraloma dragon stainless steel water bottles and more items for sale after drop off next to the cafeteria. |
| Student Council |
| The Student Council is sponsoring a reusable stainless steel water bottle campaign to replace plastic bottles. The funds from the campaign will be used for green projects at school. There are 2 sizes: 600ml stainless ($15 each) and 350ml small stainless ($10 each). Each stainless bottle proudly shows the Miraloma dragon and the school name. The Student Council will be pre-selling them on Friday mornings after morning circle until February 19. In addition, the Council would like to help with Haitian earthquake relief. They will be providing containers for classrooms and will also have a coin collection container on Fridays when they are pre-selling the water bottles. Remember, every penny counts! Collected coins will be given to a reputable charity like the American Red Cross. The Student Council will report back to the Miraloma Community on the funds raised through both campaigns in late February or early March. Thank you for supporting Miraloma and the larger community, Student Council |
