Lost & Found -- Donated Friday
Every month, Lost and Found items will be sorted out in order to make it easier for parents and children to look through. Please note that at the end of each month all items left will be donated. Please pick your items up by Friday the 29th, the L&F section is located outside the MP Room. Book Sale for Haiti Relief -- Continues The book sale for Haiti was a tremendous success. Many of you donated books, sent your children with money, and donated more than the asking price for books. Our combined efforts were a great success. Many of you also requested that we do it again next week, so in response, the Haiti Book sale will remain all this week in the MP room on an "honor system" basis. We will have a jar for donations on the tables. Please continue shopping the sale and helping our Haiti donation grow! Coming up Ohlone Events
