How can families support Linda Vista?
- If your kids have outgrown their Linda Vista t-shirts, bring them to the office. We could use them as spares for field trips and/or when needed. A great time to donate would be any weekday after July 27th!
- All other clothing, shoes and blankets can be deposited in our green & white UsAgain bin in the parking lot. We get $$ for every pound donated. Please do NOT leave anything other than clothing, shoes & blankets.
- Donating reams of paper in the fall can be quite heavy for your kiddo to carry. We take donations any time the office is open.
- Our kids have loved having the Super Buck & Paw Buck store this past year. We would love any donations of small toys & fidgets, mini Play Doh, fancy pens & pencils, DumDums & other hard candy, etc. Donations can be brought to the front office.
Thank you!!
Easy ways to support our PTA!
Linda Vista PTA provides great learning experiences for our students that enhance their classroom learning, such as field trips, on-site presentations and assemblies, weekly PE instruction, Art instruction, and much more! We would love your help in making sure these experiences continue. To support PTA, you can:
- Join the PTA! http://www.lindavistaelementarypta.com/become-a-member.html Anyone can join or make a donation - parents, grandparents, & community members!
- Do you shop at Ralph's? Add Linda Vista PTA to your Ralph's Rewards account. Log in to your account and list Linda Vista PTA as the school to receive donations from Ralph's whenever you shop (make sure it is Linda Vista in Orange). Easy & free for families!
- BoxTops - This has never been so easy! No more cutting out coupons. Add the BoxTops app to your phone, include Linda Vista (Orange) on your account, and take a pic of your receipt whenever you shop. Any donation will automatically be added to Linda Vista's account. Easy & free for families!
- Any family or friend can participate in BoxTops & Ralph's Rewards to support Linda Vista - no need to be a "parent".
- Attend PTA meetings! They will be in person on campus, but also will have an online link for those not able to attend in person. Our first one will be on August 23rd at 8:30am!
- Volunteer your time! Be a Room Parent, join a committee for events such as the Spring Carnival, or even volunteer on Picture Day or other events.
