Box Tops
Help our school earn cash by clipping Box Tops from products and sending them to school! Each one is worth 10¢ and will go toward funding various PTC activities.
Clipped Box Tops can be deposited into the blue box located in the Terra Linda office.
Boy Scouts of America
Cub Scouts just started back up for the year! We’d love to have new members for grades 1-5, especially new 1st graders looking to try it out. Contact justicejay@gmail.com if you are interested.
Eco-School Network
Calling all eco-warriors!
The Eco-School Network is a group of parents in the area who plan and implement green initiatives in schools. Every fall, they hold a training for any new, interested parents. Information below for interested parties.
Our parent leaders and students are getting so darned excited about school gardens, green teams, waste reduction, and dreaming up their next green school project!
Join us for a dessert meet-up on October 1st to connect with our supportive community and learn about our free training that can help you create change at your child’s school. Meetings are from 7-8:15pm at the homes of parent leaders.
Free childcare provided
