| SSC: Nominate Yourself by SEP 30! |
 If you want to get truly involved and have time to meet once a month (usually on a Monday @ 6pm), please NOMINATE yourself to serve on the School Site Council (SSC).
Don't let the 'elections' scare you off - we generally have just enough nominations to have all nominees serve on the SSC, either as parent member or alternate.
|
 FUNDRAISING: Have You Contributed to the Annual Fund? |
 Donating to the Annual Fund is one of the most important ways you can help our school offer the programs that make it so great. Your generous donation goes directly to Miraloma, is 100% tax deductible, and requires minimal volunteer hours. Our goal is 100% participation! Please see the Annual Fund letter for more information on how the fund is spent.
PTA Tax ID#: 94-618 4034

Don't let Miraloma miss out on funding! Turn in your
meal application
by Sep 30!
Added bonus: any school that gets 100% of its meal applications turned in by Sept 30 will be in a draw to win prizes! (e.g. movie tickets, portable stereo, basket/soccer/kick balls)

The
School Site Council (SSC)
will be conducting elections for new parent members. Elected members serve a two-year term. The SSC meets once a month to advise the principal on the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the school's overall improvement plan and school budget.
It is important to involve individuals who are most affected by our school's operations in the decision-making process.

VOLUNTEER: Volunteer at Recess!
|
Recess is an integral part of our children's socio-emotional development. A huge part of making sure recess at Miraloma can be a positive space for all of our students is by having enough caring and responsible adults on the yard to help provide supervision. Please contact me to volunteer!
