Hello SREC Community,

Out of courtesy, I wanted to let everyone know that we will go back to the original LIttle Ceasar's pizza for Tuesday hot lunch.  We gave Mary's pizza a chance but could not financially sustain the shift in pizza vendors. Also, juice will no longer be served with lunch, water will be the only drink option.  I appreciate all the help and support during this chaotic trial period!
 
The Friday hot lunch will continue to alternate between burritos, pasta, and chinese.
While I would love to offer only local, organic options, we have limits regarding the preparations, cost effectiveness, and serving of the food.

This Thursday,10/20 is SREC Spirit Day.  We have a volunteer photographer who will take a yearbook photo of all SREC students gathered together for the CA Shakeout and some other candid photos of purple and/or grey clad students for yearbook and website . Get out that SREC shirt and wear it with pride! If you did not purchase an SREC school T-shirt, can you still participate in school spirit day? Of course! Wear your favorite purple and grey outfit and join in the fun! We hope to see lots of purple and grey tomorrow. GO SREC!!!

Lost and Found needs to be claimed by this Friday 10/21.  Unclaimed or untagged items will be donated to charity. Please take a look when you pick up your child and take home anything that is yours! Thank you.

A new law that takes effect Jan. 1, 2012 requires children use booster seats longer, drawing mixed reaction from parents, educators. The law states that boosters are required until age 8.

The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, requires children to remain in booster seats until they are 8 years old or are 4 feet 9 inches tall.

Currently, children legally can avoid booster seats when they turn 6 or reach 60 pounds.

Parents caught violating the law could be hit with a fine of nearly $500 and have a point deducted from their driving record.

We collected enough money to fulfill all staff requests for school t-shirts and sweatshirts.  Thank you for supporting this effort.  And to celebrate having our new t-shirts, October 20 will be show your school spirit day, so wear your purple t-shirt.  Did you miss the distribution on Thursday?  Go to the office next to the family folders to pick up your order.

Visual Display
Ms. Catherine is looking for someone with an eye for visual design and "scrapbooking skills" to create some bulletin board displays about Positive Discipline.  Please contact Ms. Catherine at catherinem@srecschool.org, or see her in the Early Learners classroom if you can help.
 
New Committee Category Added
We have added a new committee category for people who help out in the Charter School office.  These people help with clerical tasks, organizing donated office supplies, help with the telephone answering and other general office support.  Contact Pamela Van Halsema if you are interested in helping out in this way in either a regular or 'on-call' basis.  pvanhalsema@yahoo.com

Hello SREC Community,
 
Participation is off to an amazing start this year, thank you! I wanted to ask you to please take a moment to let your classroom parent know how you are supporting our community and your child's education. Do you work in the classroom? Are you on a committee? Have you helped clean the bathrooms? Did you collect Escrip receipts outside of Safeway? We want to know! Please let them know how you are fulfilling your volunteer obligation and we will be putting that info on classroom rosters. Thank you so much for all you do!

A Big thank you to all the families who have signed up to collect receipts for the eScrip redemption. We have raised close to $600 so far and we will be in front of Safeway on Yulupa next Saturday and Sunday from 10am until 5pm.  I have extended the time frame to raise more money.  Please sign up in the front office or email me and I will put you down.  If you are available on a different day please let me know and I will make arrangements to get you some time in front of a Safeway to collect receipts.
