February 5, 2010

Dear Birney Elementary School,

A big “THANK YOU” to your school and all the churches, community organizations, banks, grocery stores, corporations, local businesses and individuals for supporting our 2009 HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE. Your efforts contributed to a total of over 493,000 pounds of food!

Your school has collected and donated a total of 360 pounds of food. The food you collected makes an immediate impact towards feeding the many children, senior citizens, men and women in this county who face hunger – often on a daily basis.

We look forward to partnering with you again. If you would like more information on what we do with your contributions throughout the San Diego County, or if you would like to help us sort through all these wonderful donations, please visit our website at www.sandiegofoodbank.org. Please note, we also offer volunteer opportunities and tours for your students.

Thanks again,

Tiffany Alcantara
Holiday Food Drive Coordinator

Make Change in Haiti

February 1 -12, you can help the Students at Birney Make Change in Haiti, by sending your extra pennies, dimes, nickels & quarters to school with your kids. They can drop them in the boxes provided in each class to help raise money for disaster relief for the earthquake victims in Haiti. Donations will go to Unicef.

Basketball and Bucks!

There are only 5 more Aztec home games to enjoy - don't let the season pass you by!

January 30 Aztecs vs Colorado 2pm

February 6 Aztecs vs New

Mexico 12:30 Girls and Women in Sports Day

February 16 Aztecs vs TCU 7:30 pm

February 24 Aztecs vs BYU 7:00pm

March 6 Aztecs vs Air Force 2pm

I will be getting 30 tickets to all the games and they are first come, first served. Let me know ahead of time if you are interested and I will order more. If your child is involved in rec basketball, get some of the team together and I will get your tickets.

The February 6th game is a great event - all of the Aztec womens' athletes set up booths in the concourse before the game for the children to interact with. They can hit a tennis ball, play golf or try to score a soccer goal with the guidence of a college athlete. I will get more tickets to that game (I gave out 100 last year). This game does not count to our total count of game attendance. Remember, the school that sends the most students to the games will win $1,000.00 for their school.

Go Aztecs!
