Thank you for your support of our Helping Haiti Heal Program! We barely had time to get the jars to the classrooms in time for your donations! Please make all checks payable to "U.S. Funds for Unicef" and write "Helping Haiti" in the memo line of your check. You may have heard this already, but Obama has signed a bill allowing taxpayers to write off any charitable donations to the Haiti relief efforts on your 2009 taxes! This means any donation you make today can be deducted on your taxes for last year instead of waiting until next year. We can always use another tax break! Sport Chalet has partnered with Soles4Souls to transport and distribute gently used shoes to the citizens of Haiti. Alta Vista would like to support this effort by operating as a collection center for any and all gently used shoes. The deadline for donating on-campus is Friday, January 29 -- one week! So grab a shopping bag, sort through your closets, and retrieve any shoes you are willing to part with. There will be a box outside the school office designated for donations -- just have your child drop the shoes in there, and we'll make sure to get them to Sport Chalet.
Thank you for your time in reading this, and thank you in advance for any contributions you may make. This is a no-cost effort that can make a difference in someone's life.

For 40 years, the national PTA Reflections Program has encouraged students across the nation and in American schools overseas to explore their artistic talents. Participation in the Reflections Program is a great way for students
to explore and learn about various art forms. Creating art is a
valuable learning process that challenges students to use their
critical thinking skills as well as their creative talents to create
art that supports a specific theme.
Students may submit an entry in any of the six arts areas listed
below. Only original works of art are accepted. The six arts
areas are as follows:
The PTA Reflections Program (FAQ) is designed to enhance quality arts education for students in preschool through grade 12, encouraging them to create works of art in the areas of dance choreography, film production, literature, musical composition, photography, and the visual arts. More than 500,000 students participate through their local PTAs each year—millions over the course of the program’s 40 years.
The Reflections Program helps parents encourage the creativity and lifelong learning of their children, and offers children recognition for their artistic endeavors. (Spanish version available Paquete de Reflexiones). |
