It's time to remember our hardworking teachers and staff with a holiday gift. 

Your PTSA Hospitality Committee is putting together a holiday breakfast buffet and we'd like to give each teacher a small gift to express our gratitude.  Would you please consider making a monetary donation to this effort?  Any amount is appreciated!  Please make your check payable to Kristin Van Weele and mail to her home at 1415 Monte Maria Avenue, Novato, CA 94947 or drop it off in the NHS office with Cathy Benson.  Also, if you'd like to help bring food for the breakfast, the sign up sheet is here: http://vols.pt/xguMB9 
 
Thanks so much for your help!
