Yearbook Cover Art
Yearbook cover art submissions are now being accepted in the red box in the office through the end of February.

Questions? There are several "Do's" and "Don't's" listed on the flyer. Check that to see if it answers your question. If not, feel free to contact Lane as listed on the FLYER.
Traffic Safety Tip
Use AC with heater when driving: Cold, Humidity, and Sunrise
A letter from a concerned parent/driver:
"Mrs. Crane,
I just witnessed a car almost drive over a mother and child walking across pedestrian crosswalk to MRE. Driver was unable to see well due to fogged windshield and sun in eyes. Please consider reminding all to use AC in vehicles to defrost/defog windshields. Many do not use air conditioning in vehicles when it is cold. Air conditioning in our vehicles takes out the moisture so that we can see well especially driving in the early morning sunrise direction.
I have seen this too many times.
Sincerely scared with what I just witnessed.
We will continue to work hard and be nice together!
Thank you for all that you do!"

Silent Auction Planning
It’s time to plan our the silent auction fundraiser for our spring social!
This year’s spring social theme is “Gods and Goddesses: An Evening of Greek Decadence.” It will be held the evening of Saturday, April 27th at the Mission Trails Regional Park; and it’s a chance for our Miramar Ranch parents, teachers, and staff to enjoy a kid-free night of socializing and relaxation. As part of the festivities, our guests will have the opportunity to bid on silent auction baskets with all proceeds going to benefit our FFA.
We need support from every classroom to make this auction a success! Each classroom is responsible for assembling one gift basket to be offered at the auction. It’s is everyone’s participation and creativity that make for an exciting and varied display of themed baskets to choose from.
Speaking of basket themes … do you or your spouse own a business that can donate an item or a service to our auction? If so, please email mrepresident@gmail.com. Donations to the auction support our FFA and are tax-deductible.
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.
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
