Messages from CMS Junior Optimists
The Junior Optimists Pasta for Pennies Fundraiser Update: Our first week brought in over $1000 in donations! The fundraiser continues until February 13th. Our goal is to raise $4,000 dollars for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The T3 that collects the most money per person will be awarded a pasta party from The Olive Garden restaurant!
To help with the collecting of donations, we have created a Pasta for Pennies page on the Counseling and Support page on PowerSchool. All T3's have a content block with the T3's own personal link added to the page. It can be found at this link: http://bit.ly/360puU3 Parents and students can donate via this link without needing to be signed into PowerSchool. To encourage online donations, any single donation of 150$ will receive a free ticket to Knotts Berry Farms. If you have questions, contact Kevin Ramirez or Matt Smith, Junior Optimist Advisers.
Emerald Keepers is a group of volunteers leading a growing grassroots effort to care for our coastal community, ensure Coronado’s sustainability for generations to come, and serve as a model for other communities. CMS is looking forward to starting an Emerald Green Club.
