Ralphs Rewards

By on September 11, 2012 in Fundraiser

If you haven’t done so yet, please link/re-link your Ralphs rewards card. If you tried to do so between 9/1-9/4, there was a glitch with the Ralphs system which has since been resolved, so please try again. By linking your card, the school will receive a percentage of all dollars spent throughout the year. Last year, the money received from Ralphs was one of our largest fundraisers, and that is with only 33% school participation. Anyone can sign up, so ask your family and friends to link their cards! It takes just a few minutes of your time, and the school benefits all year long. There are 2 very easy ways to sign up:

  1. Online: Click here for instructions. If you would like to print out the instructions, please click here for the PDF.
  2. In store: Click here to download and print the barcode. Bring the barcode and your Ralphs Rewards card to the store and ask the cashier to link it upon check out. If you forget to bring the barcode, there is an additional copy at the Customer Service desk.

In a week or so, the next time you shop at Ralphs, the bottom of your receipt should have “Del Sur Elementary PTA”. If it doesn’t, please try again to link your card. Remember that money raised by the PTA goes directly towards curriculum enhancements. In the past, programs include Gold Rush Days, Colonial Days, Old Fashioned Trunk Show and Owl Pellet Dissecting. With the budget cuts, it is crucial that everyone contributes so that we are able to continue to offer more for our Explorers. Thank you for your efforts!

Yearbook Committee

By on October 19, 2012 in General

Dear Explorer Families,

Yearbook will be holding its first committee meeting on Wednesday, October 24th at 7:00 in the Library. As a committee member you can make as little or as big of a commitment as you want. Yearbook will need help in many areas including taking photographs, page design and completion, proofing, etc. Whether you are creative or organized or anything in between we could use your help! If you would like to be a part of yearbook but can’t make it to the meeting please e-mail me.

Photographers needed: I have an immediate need for Photographers to take candid shots of students during Red Ribbon Week, Oct 22 – 26. If you can be on campus during school hours to take pictures please contact me immediately for details.

Thanks,
Traci Grothe
