Peet's and Palo Alto Toy and Sport Gift Cards

Peet's Coffee and Tea and Palo Alto Sport and Toy
Store have teamed up with Laurel and Encinal to
support our schools! Many of us frequent these
businesses on a regular basis (you Peet's lovers out
there know who you are), so why not help our PTOs
at the same time?! 10% from all cards sold goes
directly to our PTOs. They also make great gifts for
others. You can print out the order forms at home,
then follow the instructions on the forms, and you
will receive your cards in a few weeks!

Box Tops for Education

Our school-wide Box Tops for Education contest is under way! Please clip and send Box Tops to your child's class now through Tuesday, October 24 - each classroom has a special envelope to collect Box Tops. Ask family and neighbors to clip Box Tops to give to your child to submit. The class that collects the most Box Tops will earn a special treat! Last year we submitted over 8700 Box Tops, earning the PTO over $875. Take a look at the
list of participating products.

This is just one of many Business Alliance programs. See the flyer for a complete list of programs that are active in September.
