Attention Mather Heights PTA...

You’ve signed up and now we’d like to put you to work. Our Fall Festival is just around the corner. It is being held on Friday October 2nd from 5-8 PM. First of all, we’d like you to join us for the next Fall Festival meeting on September 15th at 6:30 PM in the staff lounge at the school. We are looking for help with the following items:

-We are looking for lighting options. Do you know someone with access to heavy duty construction type lighting or generators that they’d be willing to allow us use of for the evening of our fall festival?

-Do you own an easy up canopy that we could use to cover booth areas?

-Do you have connections to a music group or DJ that would be willing to donate their time or perform for a very small fee?

-Do you have connections to a business owner who would be willing to donate their goods or services for use as a raffle item? They would be allowed to advertise their business in the raffle area. If you know someone who’d like to do this we’ve attached a donation letter that includes our tax ID number if needed.

-We are also looking for business owners who would like to display their goods at a booth. We do ask for a $50.00 booth rental fee or donation of $50.00 worth of product to be raffled off.

Please respond send an email to matherheightspta@yahoo.com with any help you can offer. We look forward to making this a very successful Fall Festival as we work to continue to provide educational opportunities for all of our children!

Paper Drive Going Strong!

As a reminder, Mather Heights is hosting a Paper Drive during the month of September. We are asking each family to donate a minimum of 2 reams of white photocopy paper.

The reams of paper will be stacked by the cafeteria by grade level so that the children can see their progress.

On October 1st the grade level with the most paper will be announced. The grade level that wins will receive an additional recess and snowcone party.

Thank you to everyone for all of your help and keep the paper coming!

Please Donate to the Fall Festival Country Kitchen

Attention Mather Heights parents! Do you make a dessert that always gets raves? Do you have extra produce from your garden? Or, do you have extra jams or jellies that you've canned over the summer? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, donate your prepared goodies or produce to our newest Fall Festival booth, The Mather Heights Country Kitchen! All proceeds go directly to our school, funding classroom supplies, field trips, and other activities. More details to come, so stay tuned!

To help or donate items please contact Avril Zermeno at lirva1010@sbcglobal.com
