Dear CRLS Students and Families;
Changes in fare structure will impact students who use the MBTA to travel. Single ride fares are now $0.75 for local bus, and $1.00 for rapid transit (subway). Listed below are the Charlie Cards CRLS will offer this year-
Stored Value Charlie Card- This card is free but has no initial value stored on the card. Students who obtain this card must go to the MBTA station to add money using their own funds and they will then be charged half price when they use it.
5 Day Student Monthly Charlie Card Pass- This card costs $25.00 per month. Students who purchase this card will have unlimited local bus and rapid transit access only during the school week, weekdays Monday through Friday.
7 Day Student Monthly Charlie Card Pass- This card costs $28.00 per month. Students who purchase this card will have unlimited local bus and rapid transit access throughout the duration of the month, including weekends.
Please contact your child's Learning Community if you have questions regarding Charlie Cards.

FOCA Annual Walk-a-thon Fund Raiser
Sunday, September 23
Location: Water Treatment Facility at Fresh Pond 9:00 am start
Dear Parents of CRLS Athletes,
The Friends of Cambridge Athletics (FOCA) is a parent led non-profit organization supporting CRLS athletics. Our annual Fall Fundraiser - The 'Walkathon' - engages all fall teams and takes place at Fresh Pond. The majority of the funds that student-athletes raise go directly into their team accounts which teams draw upon for needs ranging from team jackets and sweats to specialized equipment or purposes that may fall outside the budget. Participating helps students understand their allegiance to their team as well as to the wider CRLS athletics community.
We hope that your student-athlete will work on getting pledges to support her/his team and plan to walk. This is a fun and important community event! PLEASE ask your daughter/son about the Walk-a-thon encourage them to gain sponsors and walk.
The Walkathon will be held on Sunday September 23, 2012 at 9 a.m. It will start by the
Water Treatment Facility at Fresh Pond.
For more information or to help by volunteering contact Amy Bamforth abamforth@comcast.net. You can also go to our website to download the sponsor form and learn more about * FOCA and how to get involved: www.friendsofcambridgeathletics.org
Thank you for supporting FOCA and our fund raisers that help maintain the practice that Cambridge student-athletes do not have to 'pay to play'.
