Don't let your student miss out on participating in the Science Fair in less than four weeks - Register Now, even if your student isn't exactly sure what they'll be presenting.  If you're not sure how to put a project together, information is available in  Powerpoint or PDF - with many more resources on the Science Fair page.  Also, save yourself a trip to the store by purchasing your tri-fold posterboard as part of your registration.  If you have any questions, please e-mail James Dooley at sciencefair@puestadelsolpta.org.

Sign up to Volunteer!  

In order to present the science fair, it's expected that each family has at least one adult volunteer for 30-45 minutes during the event. In addition to bakers and food sales, volunteer shifts are available for room monitors, judges, greeters, setup, tear-down, photographers and the scavenger hunt.   Sign up here, and if you have any questions, please e-mail James Dooley at sciencefair@puestadelsolpta.org.

Please help make this year's Science Fair Bake Sale a success. We need baked goods to be sold at the fair as well as volunteers to take shifts for sales. Please contact Annie Robinson at arobinson105@yahoo.com if you plan on dropping off goodies and/or you would like to help at the table. Items can be dropped off at the PTA office (there will be a big labeled clear bin) up to two days before the event or dropped off at the Bake Sale table during the event.

Lucky Reader - March is the time of year when students often lag behind in their reading.  The weather gets better, spring is on the way and social time begins to trump reading time.  Lucky Reader is a fun way to encourage students to keep reading.  I check out a variety of books from Spanish and English fiction, nonfiction, and everybody shelves to a patron named "Lucky Reader" and then put them back on the shelves. Unknowingly, a student may choose to read one of these books and when they check out a note pops up on the computer that says it's already checked out to Lucky Reader.  Surprise!  The student checks out their book AND wins a free book to keep.  Lucky Reader runs from the 1st week of March until Spring Break.  Are you a Lucky Reader? 

Collecting ink cartridges and cell phones

We are still collecting old cell phones and empty printer cartridges of any size.  Our library gets points and cash for these items, so don't forget to collect them at your home or office and drop them off in the library.  No toner cartridges please. 

Wednesday, March 11 6:00 to 8:15pm, Interlake High School
