Shop To Earn
Don't forget to shop online through our www.shoptoearth.net/camelotkids to earn money for Camelot! I recently purchased my Southwest airline tickets through the Camelot portal and earned $20 back for Camelot.  My tickets came to $400 and Southwest gives Camelot 5% back on airline purchases.  I have recently made purchases with Diapers.com they give 8% back, I Tunes gives 5% back, and Office Max 8% and Avalon Organics 15%.  All my purchases directly benefit Camelot.  This is such a very simple and effective way to raise money for the school. So shop online at shoptoearth.net/camelotkids  Please contact me with any of your questions.  Sheryl siada2@mac.com 323.578.1846

Special Thanks
Thanks to Bryan (Tanner's dad) & James (Benjamin's dad) for repainting all the lines in the parking lot.  Hopefully Bryan's broken finger was worth the pain & it will make our busy mornings more convenient for parking.

Big thanks to Russ & Casie (Arabelle's Parents) for installing our wonderful sun-shade - just in time for the kids to enjoy this summer...



HAVE A MARVELOUS MAY!!
