down by the lower San Jose Gate. It’s still $5.00 donation for a
print – or we’ll take Spring Fair tickets if you still have them. Get

Also – last chance for you graduating 5th graders!

Also – We will have the Talent Show DVD’s there for $10.00 each so
plan to pick up your copy Thursday!

The Green Bags and Canvas bags we have left from the fair will also be

reusable grocery bags here is your chance. Proceeds from all of these
items go directly to programs for your children via the PTA.
