The big event is finally here, this Saturday, May 14. The 1969 Spring Auction kicks off officially at 5:00 p.m. Use Red Carpet Check-in to gain early access at 4:30 and be the first to sign up for all those parties that will sell out quickly!

Remember...Diamonds are a girl's best friend!
RED CARPET CHECK-IN, NEW THIS YEAR! 1969 T-SHIRTS FOR SALE!
We listened to your feedback, and have expedited the check-in process this year. Avoid the regular check-in lines the night of the Auction by using Red Carpet Check-in prior to the 1969 Auction event. Bring your credit card to the Red Carpet Check-in station at Las Lomitas Elementary School during drop off on any morning, from Wednesday, May 11 through Friday, May 13, and we will swipe you in. You will receive an exclusive early bird entry ticket to the Auction, allowing you an additional thirty minutes to grab a drink and register for all of your favorite Events and Adventures that are sure to sell out quickly! Red Carpet Check-in is open to all who purchase tickets by Sunday, May 8th. 1969 t-shirts will be sold during this time as well.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
It takes a Herculean effort to set up and take down the main event May 14. Volunteers are needed the following times: May 13 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m., May 14 from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and from 12:00 - 3:00 p.m., and May 15 from 9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m. This is a super fun way to get to know people in a quick two or three-hour time slot. Kids who are ready to work are welcome to help, too! Please email Stephanie Peters at auction_volunteers@llef.org to participate.
TEACHER TREASURES ARE ONLINE! ONLINE AUCTION CLOSES MAY 12!
The Online Auction is live and closes this Thursday evening, May 12! Important to know - items at the main event, and items online are TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Even more importantly, TEACHER TREASURES ARE ONLINE. That means there are over 150 items in the online auction that will not be available at the 1969 Spring Auction. Look for the Online Auction booklet coming home in your child's backpack today. We've got kids' birthday parties, summer camps, restaurant gift certificates, 49ers tickets, fitness memberships, and much more! Go to www.llef.org to begin bidding online.
CATALOGS: If for any reason your auction catalog didn't reach you, there are extra copies in the school office. You can also view it online. If you need help getting a copy, email auction@llef.org.
BIDDING IN A GROUP: Just a reminder that we've got many items which are perfect for bidding on with friends, such as our gourmet dinner parties and large vacation homes. Line up your groups before the auction event and use the split bid forms in your auction catalog to split the cost on auction night. Split bid forms will also be available at check-in. Please contact Auction Treasurer, Lovinda Beal-Blohm at auctiontreasurer@gmail.com if you are planning a split bid.
SEE YOU AT WOODSTOCK!

ERTOLA'S SUMMER MATH CAMP
The positive feedback from both parents and students regarding my three years of summer math enrichment programs, prompted me to once again offer another year of camp. This summer's camp is June 20-July 15th at 9-10am for incoming sixth, and 10-11am for incoming seventh graders and held in at LE in room 22. The goal of the program is to reinforce, develop and preview math skills and concepts for the upcoming school year. As LE's current Pre-Algebra teacher, its deepens the teacher-student relationship while improving their math skillsets. Flyers will be sent home April 29th. I welcome the opportunity to facilitate this continued learning experience and can be contacted for pricing and more information at jertola@llesd.org, or called at 650-386-5686 (home).
