Can You Help Us Do Some Shopping?

By Lisa Covington

I am looking for a shopping helper on Tuesday, May 16th to accompany me to the L.A. Shares warehouse. They are an organization that receives donated supplies from companies such as the Avery Corp & Expedex.

Every once in a while, LA Shares hosts a shopping day where we are invited to come to shop for office supplies and other goodies. It is a two person job, however. I need someone to come and spend the morning with me to do our shopping!

We would leave from the school around 8:20 to arrive back before lunch time. I am happy to drive, I just need a helper. If you are able or interested, could you please check in with me in the office or send me a note at lisa@pacificaschool.org?

Thanks!

We Need Help Organizing Parent Education Workshops

Pacifica has won a grant from the Palms Neighborhood Council to help us bring back our Parent Education Workshops. We need some volunteers to help us plan, schedule speakers, make and distribute flyers, and more. If you are interested in participating, please contact Cheryl Ward by e-mail at cheryl@pacificaschool.org. 

Help Pacifica Raise Money by Shopping!

Here’s an easy way to save money, and earn some for Pacifica: BUY YOUR GOODS FROM AMAZON.COM! Everything you buy on Amazon.com earns a 5% or greater kickback for Pacifica! You can buy almost anything on there! They have books, CDs, DVDs & Videos, clothing, computers & electronics, sporting goods, tools and so much more. Go to Pacifica’s website at www.pacificaschool.org and scroll down to the bottom of the home page, where you’ll find an Amazon.com mini-search form, or access Amazon via our Reading List page for book recommendations on Pacifica-related subjects – either way, you must use our website to access Amazon, or Pacifica won’t get credit for your purchase.

Community Appreciation

• Thank you to the Fundraising and Parent Participation Committees (especially the Briley family) for hosting the wonderful barbeque last weekend. There was a very large turnout and everyone had a great time!
• Thank you to our families for supporting their students in preparing emotionally and physically for the standardized testing. Your help truly does make a difference.

Education either... is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity, or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.           - Paulo Freire
