All Peralta families are encouraged to contribute to the Peralta Fund—this years goal is $25,000! Whether you can give a little or a lot, it adds up to an average of more than $1,200 per month of ongoing support for our school. We’ve made it easy to contribute each month via the internet (we have a computer at school that you can use if you don’t have access). Your pledge will support the great Sports for Kids program that not only teaches sport but also helps our kids learn team work and conflict resolution, and improves the playground atmosphere greatly. Peralta fund contributions also support field trips, music classes, art, our librarian and the garden. Contact Marguerite Young 654-1446 or email myben@sbcglobal.net with questions.

CONTEST: Classes with at least 75% participation rate get an ice cream party; school wide party if the families of at least 175 children participate! Deadline September 28.

We will also have computers set up at the Sept 5 PPTG meeting and Back to School night. Forms will be coming home with children this week.
