BIRNEY NEEDS HELP

A DONATION ... ?

BIRNEY NEEDS COPY PAPER!

The school currently uses in the neighborhood of 6-10 ream cases of paper a week, and the supplies budget for this year is getting discouragingly low.

BIRNEY WILL GLADLY ACCEPT ANY SIZE DONATION ... REAM OR CASE...

The school can get great discounts on supplies--usually better any of us could individually get. Their cost for a 10-ream case of copy paper is $31.65, delivery included. So, a sure bet for the BEST purchasing power comes from cash donations. If you are willing, please drop by the office with your tax-deductible donation of paper, a few dollars or a check made out to Birney Elementary to be specifically spent on copy paper.

~ THANK YOU ~

Note: I just found that OfficeDepot.com is having a special sale on HP Office Paper (item#333465)--with discounts and coupons available at the site (110139278), the cost is $29.99/10-ream case (limit 2 cases). If you purchase 2 boxes (or $50 or more), next day delivery is free.I don't know how long the sale will last, but if you were feeling particularly motivated you might check it out.

Rally for Education - May 13 - Urgent information to share for PTA

Stand up for students and show support for our schools! A “cuts only” budget is bad for our children and bad for California. PTA is joining with education groups across the state to tell Sacramento “No More Cuts to Schools!” You can be a voice for your children’s education and their future!

Join fellow parents, students, teachers, and community members at the State of Emergency rally for education on
Friday May 13, 2011 from 4 to 6pm
at Embarcadero Park North near Seaport Village. Wear a PTA shirt, or your “9 million reasons to speak up” t-shirt from previous PTA rallies so the press will see PTA’s presence. We will have CUTS HURT KIDS signs for you, or make your own.

We suggest you take the trolley, as parking is limited and we are expecting several thousand parents, teachers and community members. Similar rallies are being held in major California cities simultaneously, get ready to talk to the press – they’ll all be there. I look forward to seeing you next Friday.
