Events over the next few days
This is just another reminder of the events for parents and students at Placerita. But before we provide information about upcoming events, I would like to THANK YOU all for all your efforts with the Step it UP fundraiser. All of you, students and parents, did a fantastic job spending time and donating for the cause of helping our students have more opportunities to do great things. You all raised over $54 thousand dollars and after expenses for prizes and the big event that students get to participate in, we will have a nice amount to plan some great activities for the remainder of the year. You also did a great job with our donations for the Placerita Foundation at the beginning of the year raising over $7 thousand dollars. That money is spent on teacher requests for a variety of classroom needs throughout the year. Without your help, Placerita would not be able to have many of the extra materials that are used in several classrooms. We specifically offer some unique labs that go above regular requirements from the District and State that would not be possible without Foundation assistance. It is great to have a community that supports its students well and the staff at Placerita are truly grateful for all your support.
See below some of the events that we have happening at Placerita over the next few days. We would really like to have you participate in any or all of them.
PAC Meeting
The Placerita Advisory Council (PAC) will meet Thursday evening at 7:00 in Tanner Hall. We are going to talk about a very important topic and discuss how we can all better manage our Social Media habits. We will discuss how we can develop a Family Media Plan and how it can be implemented. Click on the RSVP form below to let us know that you are coming.
Presto Pasta
Wednesday, October 17 is the day for us to be able to receive a 20% donation of sales to Placerita. This fundraiser will last all day at Presto Pasta. This is one of the Principal's favorite new places to eat in town. They have great Italian at a reasonable price. See flyer with address and information below.
Friday Night Lights at COC
This Friday night, October 12th is Placerita Night at Hart High's Football Game at COC. Hart is playing Canyon High and every year this game is a National Rivalry Game. Placerita Students will get in Free with their ID and the cost for adults is $8 and other students is $5. It's going to be a fun night.
End of Quarter Coming Soon (October 19)
The end of the first quarter is two weeks away. It does not seem possible does it? Please have students check for missing work and challenge them to step up and perform their best over the next two weeks. Quarter grades are very important for future awards. Thanks for reminding them.
