The Book Fair is Coming soon and we need your HELP!
The “Dino-Mite” Book Fair runs Jan. 25th through Jan 31st. Your child will visit the book fair with their class during their library time. We will also have shopping every day before and after school (no after school on the 31st) with special morning events for moms on 1/29 &1/30 and dads on 1/28 & 1/31. Grandparents or any special person in your child’s life are welcome too! This is a great way to stock up on new books and help the school. It is also a ton of fun for the students, but only if we have enough volunteers to make it happen!! We need volunteers for set up, clean up, for every class visit, and especially in the mornings and afternoons. One hour makes a huge difference. Sign Up here to volunteer.
The Book Fair Team is challenging the students of Miramar Ranch to read 200,000 minutes between January 14th and February 8th. If they are successful, they will win a free spring movie night! Additionally, the class in grades TK-2nd and in 3rd-5th with the most reading minutes logged will win an in-class field trip courtesy of Challenge Island.
To participate in this contest, please turn in a record of your student’s reading minutes each week. Book Fair reading logs will come home this week, but you don’t have to use our reading log. Just make sure the log you use has the teacher’s name and grade on it. A new reading log should be turned in each week until the contest ends. Turn in your reading logs to your teacher or in the red box in the school office. New logs will come home each week with your student, they will also be available in the office by the red FFA box.
The next committee meeting will be held Friday, 1/11 at 9am in the teacher’s lounge. We’d love to see you there!
For questions or if you would like to help out, please contact Leanne Steichen.
Fundraising (Gift Card) ~ eScrip Benefit App
It's time for New Year's resolutions! So why not purchase a gift card and take yourself to lunch at Chipotle or Panera this week? These are just two examples of gift cards that can be purchased through the app to earn money for our FFA. See the app for the many retail offers available.
Have you not heard of Benefit before? It is great new way to shop for gift cards via a free app from eScrip. Purchasing the gift card raises money for the school. These can be bought while waiting in line at the store and used right away or sent as gifts to others. There are many national retailers, like Starbucks, WholeFoods and Target on the app. See the attached flyer on how to down load the app today. Be sure to choose Miramar Ranch Family Faculty Association as your beneficiary.
Shop Amazon Smile
Do you shop on Amazon? Do you use Amazon Smile when you do?
If you have not designated the Miramar Ranch FFA as your charity and begun shopping on Amazon Smile, this is a good time to start. It costs you nothing and it benefits our school. See Flyer for help setting this up.
Friendly Reminder!
There is no parking on Scripps Lake Blvd in the bike lanes. Bicyclists are being forced into narrow traffic lanes due to the bike lane being occupied by illegally parked vehicles. Parents please obey all traffic and posted no parking signs when dropping off and picking up your children at school. Let's be good role models for our children.
Classroom Volunteers!
This year, the FFA has organized a new system for volunteer sign-ups. We are using Sign-Up Genius, an online tool to assist us in recruiting our school volunteers. Each classroom has a number of volunteer opportunities available.
Click HERE for instructions on how to find the online sign-ups for your class. Some jobs can be done from home. All volunteers must complete our Volunteer Packet and be cleared by the office. A new volunteer packet must be completed every year, so please resubmit your volunteer application even if you volunteered on our campus last year.
For questions about how to become a volunteer or more details about what any particular job entails, email our Volunteer Coordinator, Krista Dwyer, at mrevolunteercoordinator@gmail.com
