Fundraising/Community Opportunities:
Night off for all cooks!! Pizza Night at Pizzicato at 2811 E Burnside on Tuesday January 26th.
Help support fundraising for the Middle school Marine Biology trips and the PTSA General Fund and have an easy and delicious dinner on the table at the same time. You could also double your effort in supporting the school by buying scrip for Pizzicato on Monday and using it on Tuesday. If you don\'t want pizza that night.... buy a gift certificate at Pizzicato on tuesday and use it another time.
20% from all of Pizzicato sales on that tuesday the 26th goes to SES & PTSA needs.
We are on the Pizzicato last chance list to make it worth their while to do fundraisers for us.
TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO EAT AT EASTSIDE BURNSIDE PIZZICATO ON TUESDAY!
To learn more about the 8th grape Marine Biology trips read below:
Catalina Environmental Leadership Program (CELP) is an outstanding program that provides students with the opportunity to learn about the unique marine environment of the kelp forest. Experienced staff teach the students to become environmental stewards through exploration, group challenges and sustainability activities. Students are exposed to the plant and animal life first hand through snorkeling and kayaking and lab work. They make connections between their actions and the environment by learning about the history of the island. They participate in organic gardening and composting leading to an understanding of how the plants and animals are interconnected.
Create washable labels for your students’ clothing, lunch gear and other items
"Because the labels are ordered on-line and shipped directly to you
this is a good fundraiser to share with people outside of Portland.
We'd appreciate it if you would copy this section of the Messenger and
forward to family and friends as an email."
Create custom washable labels for your student’s gear with this fundraiser from PTSA. SES parent Cindi Carrell is coordinating the sale and has used these labels in the past: “Both my sons have these labels on their school lunch containers and they have lasted over 3 years being washed daily in a regular dishwasher. Tags on their clothing have had the same durability.” Cindi prints her labels with her students’ last name and phone number. She also uses these labels on dishware for potlucks so she can get her plate back (masking tape falls off and Sharpie usually fades after one or two washings) and for marking water bottles. Through the end of February PTSA retains 20% of all sales through the web site: www.SES.lovablelabels.ca. You can also find a link on the SES PTSA web site under Fundraising. For more information, see the site or contact Cindi at ccarrell@gmail.com.
Created by a Canadian mom, this line of labels includes Regular and Slimline Stickers (great for lunch containers, water bottles and other smaller items), Shoe Labels, Iron-ons and Bag Tags. The labels are bright, simple and durable. The Regular and Slimline labels are microwave and dishwasher safe, the Iron-on labels stay put in the washer and dryer, the Shoe Labels have an extra strength adhesive to ensure they won't come off (great for rain boots) and the Bag Tags are made of a durable and flexible plastic. For older students, you can choose to leave off the icons.
Seed sale through Territorial Seeds is coming soon
Dreaming of your summer garden? To help gardeners get an earlier jump on growing plant starts, PTSA has moved the Territorial Seed sale earlier. Look for order information and catalogs to be coming in the next week or two. Our plant and bulb sale will occur at its regular time in the spring.
Save your old cell phones, ink cartridges, iPods and laptops. Sunnyside is working out the final details to an electronics recycling fundraiser. More information will be available after the holidays. Questions? Email Howard at Hiton@speakeasy.net.
