School-Force News

Donate your Halloween Candy in your Elementary School Office Nov 1-4, and win a Trifecta: $2 per pound to School-Force, Candy for our Troops overseas, and less candy in your home! Thank you to our fabulous local dentists Urmi Amin, Michael Chang and Nancy Kaher for putting together this program. See the Candy Buy-Back eflyer.
Planning your online holiday shopping?
Don't forget to go through: to earn free money for School-Force! About 7% of the money you spend at Amazon comes back to School-Force!!
Plan ahead and make meeting your School-Force donation goal easy! If you start your monthly donation in October, the suggested amount in order to reach the $1200 level is: $133/mo for one child or $267/mo for 2 children. Visit http://schoolforce.org/donate/ to set up your donation now.
Why $1200 per child? Where did that number come from? It's "The Formula for Strong Schools" If all families donate at the suggested level ($1200 per child by June 30, 2011), we will raise over $3.5 million, an amount that would make our schools look like they did a few years ago: full time libraries, smaller classes in K-3 (20:1), GATE (Gifted and Talented Program), and full-time Reading Specialists.
