We'd like to extend a great big thank you to all of our families and friends who came out in support of Eagle Rock Elementary this evening during our Shop for Schools Night!

I especially want to thank our parent and student volunteers who were a great big help bagging groceries, manning the table outside for the drawing and donated receipts and our "runners" who took the donated receipts to our collection box outside!

Thanks for all of your support and enjoy your Veterans Day Holiday!

Please remember to take a moment and acknowledge our men and women in uniform especially as we begin this holiday season!

This Thursday, November 10, 2011 from 4:00p until 8:00p is the Eagle Rock Elementary Fresh & Easy Shopping Night at their location on Eagle Rock Blvd and El Paso Dr! So please be sure to stop by and stock up on your weekly groceries and why not prepare for the upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday all the while helping out Eagle Rock Elementary!

Did you know that last year Eagle Rock Elementary was close to being the highest-grossing school in California, which would have entitled us to a $5000 bonus from Fresh & Easy? 

Did you also know that our school earns $1 for every $20 Fresh & Easy receipt collected now through December 31? So be sure to save your receipts and drop them off at the Parent Center.

Please tell your family and friends about our special Shopping Night at Fresh & Easy and together we can make Eagle Rock Elementary the highest grossing school this year! Thanks for your continued support!

We've reached the end of our Annual Magazine & Gift Drive! We plan to have everything checked, collected and processed by Thursday so that we can hand out ducks and prizes on Friday.

We're expecting a large volume of orders to be submitted so if any of you parents would be interested in helping between now and Friday, please email Fundraising or stop by the Parent Center during regular school hours. 

Once again, please mention this to any other parents that would be interested in lending us a hand and we hope to see you there.  Bring your calculators and we'll supply the coffee! :)

On Monday, October 24, 2011 the Eagle Rock Elementary PTA will have it's first Box Tops Collection Day.  Please bring any box tops coupons to the Parent Center.  We will also gladly accept your assistance to help "trim" the coupons on the dotted line which is a strict requirement of the BTFE Program.

Did you know that you can earn cash for Eagle Rock Elementary School by clipping Box Tops coupons from hundreds of participating products? Box Tops also offers easy ways to earn even more cash for your school online.  Click here for more information.

For the fundraiser, when we turn in sales at halfway point, how will you tally the online sales? B.V.

In order to be able to track your online orders, your student needs to be registered at the Great American Online Portal. Just follow the prompts and it is here that you can also setup an address book to start an email campaign to help boost your sales!  Once registered, your child will have a unique Online ID and link to "their" sales site to share with their recipients and best of all, it only takes a few minutes to set it up!  Good Luck!
