PTA Membership Drive 

PTA Membership Drive Class Contest Update.  Mrs. Hagan's kindergarten class has taken the lead followed closely by Mrs. Ransom's first grade class.  Mr. Jones (4th grade) and Mrs. Kifer's (5th grade) classes are tied for third but there are still many classes in the running to win!  We will extend the deadline to October 15th.  Remember the winning class will receive a cotton candy party. Good luck! You can join the PTA online at https://jointotem.com/ca/san-diego/shoal-creel-pta.  Extra envelopes are located in the school office. And remember, if we reach our school goal of 160 members, Mr. Atkins will dress as a superhero for the day.  

Monetary Donations

All donations are voluntary. A donation is not required to participate in any school activity.  Additionally, any donation a parent wishes to give must be issued to the school, not the teacher.  

Box Tops 

Start turning in your Box Tops now!  They are worth 10 cents each for our school and now there are two ways to earn, the traditional method of clipping and a new Box Tops app. The grade with the most Box Tops collected gets to “rule the school” in their pajamas for a day!  The class with the most gets their own Fruit Roll-Ups party! Instructions and the new collection sheets are in the email attached.  Click to expand to find out TWO ways to turn in your BoxTops!
