4.  I HEART My School No Hassle Fundraiser -  If you would like to make a donation, please drop-it off at the school office.  Make sure you attach a note/your contact info if you would like a tax deductible receipt sent to you.  The money is completing this year's budget and will hopefully provide some money to start off our next school year's PTA budget (to support our teachers/students with materials, summer enrichment courses, technology, etc.)  Fliers have gone out in Wednesday folders over the past few weeks (excluding this week : )   No amount is too small.

5.  End of the Year Student Performance - May 8th @ Guerro's Oak Garden from 6-8.  This is a great family event which marks the end of our spring No Hassle Fundraiser. Fun! Fun!  Aside from the students performing, you never know what musician in town might show up...Contact Kim McPherson at kandkmcpherson@yahoo.com if you can volunteer (transport equipment and monitor ticket sales). Give Guerro's an Appreciation Pump for hosting us by "liking" them on Facebook...if you are on Facebook.  And if you are on Facebook, "Like" Travis Heights Elementary School while you are at it.

Estimados padres,

Solo podemos llevar a dos padres, por favor avise lo mas pronto posible al/la maestro/a de su hijo/a si quiere acompanarnos y ya tomo la clase.  


Dear Parents,

The employees from "Veteran's Administration" have invited us once again to visit their office to trick or treat.  VA is one of our school partners and they love having our students come over for some treats and books.  The trip will be Wednesday October 26 at 9:00AM.  We should arrive back to campus by 11 AM.  We would love to have parent volunteers but there are only a few spots available.  Please let your child’s teacher know ASAP if you can come along.  Sorry, no siblings and ALL parents MUST attend the parent workship before being able to come.
