Lost & Found Clean Out Day (Friday, December 21st)
With colder weather and rain this month the lost and found is FULL of jackets and sweatshirts! It is time for a lost & found clean out. Be sure to check this week for your missing items!
Anything not picked up by the end of the school day Friday, December 21st will be donated to charity.
December Restaurant Night #2!
Thank you to all of you who participated in our restaurant night on December 6th at Flippin' Pizza. We had a great turn out for such a rainy night! The classroom with the largest attendance was Ms. Thomas and she and her student will be receiving their "Nice Slice" cards soon to celebrate their win! Since this is the special time of year where we focus on celebrations with family and friends, our second restaurant night this month will be held THIS THURSDAY, December 20th at Sammy's Woodfire Pizza on Scripps Poway Parkway. Winter break is almost here and there's no time like our half day to take a little break from the list of everything you are doing and just enjoy your children or dinner with a good buddy. If you feel pizza-ed out, rest assured that Sammy's offers so many other great items, like full course dinner, salads and pasta and of course, their famous tapas appetizers. It's important you bring the HARD COPY FLIER to the restaurant with you to earn the FFA our 20%. So please, print or grab one from the media center by the front office. Have a great holiday and enjoy your break!
Stomp, Chomp & Read
The 2019 Dino-Mite Book Fair is coming January 25th-31st and we need your help! Our second committee meeting will be held Monday, December 17th at 8:00am in the lounge. For questions or if you would like to help out, please contact Leanne Steichen.
Fundraising (Gift Card) ~ eScrip Benefit App
Tis' the season to be shopping. How would you like to shop and earn money for Miramar Ranch Elementary programs simultaneously. MRE has a great new way to shop for gift cards via a free app from eScrip called Benefit. Purchasing the gift card raises money for the school. These can 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.
Take advantage of this week's bonus offers to earn more for MRE from 12/14/18 - 12/21/18. Here are few gift cards that increased their return, Bath & Body Works is upping the return from 5% to 10%. Lowes is increasing from 4% to 6%, GameStop is increasing from 3% to 13% and there are many more...download the app today.
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.
2018 SRSRC Guest Passes Needed!
Miramar Ranch Elementary 5th Grade Promotion Party needs your leftover 2018 Scripps Ranch Swim & Racquet Club (SRSRC) Guest Passes! If you have some 2018 passes that will go unused please make a quick side trip to the club and talk to whomever is at the window. They can collect them from you and credit them to the class for the party (just tell them it’s for the Miramar Ranch Elementary School promotion party). The club generously allows us to use their facilities and even allows the use of expired guest passes to cover any non-member students. The only catch is that we need to turn in those guest passes before the end of this year to be able to use them in June (otherwise we have to pay $10 for each non-member student). Anyone can donate unused passes, even if you don’t have a 5th grader or even a child at this school please pass the word to any members of SRSRC. Thanks!
You can also drop off the passes in the MRE office in the FFA drop box.
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
