Shop at Jenny K This Week
All through this week, Jenny K will donate 20% of purchases to Portola. Just mention “This is for Portola” when making your purchases. This fundraiser will end with a special event on Friday Nov. 16th from 7 pm to 9 pm. Invite your friends and family for a night of wine and finger food while shopping at Jenny K’s newly expanded store. See flyer for more details.
Gift Cards = Money for Portola
Order your gift cards through Portola PTSA and a portion of the value will be given back to the school! Whether for gift giving or personal use, these gift card purchases are a great way to earn money for our school. There are hundreds to choose from! Order forms are available in the main office. Last chance to orders is December 7th. Order forms may also be downloaded online at http://portolanews.com/forms/. The gift cards do not expire.
Halloween Dance Rescheduled
The Halloween Dance has been rescheduled to Friday Nov. 16th from 2:30 to 4:00 pm at the El Cerrito Community Center Main Hall. All tickets sold for the cancelled dance will be honored at this dance. If you would like to purchase tickets for the dance, please see Ms. Renee in Room 22.
Math Enrichment
I am writing to ask your support for a new program that Portola Math Club is trying to implement to raise math capacity at Portola. We have the right teacher and the right program, now we just need the funding! Please see Math Enrichment Appeal and contact Pamela Gilbert-Snyder at pgilbertsnyder@gmail.com if you have any questions. This could be the start of a real game-changer for our students.
