 PASSPORT CLUB:
Next Check is tomorrow!
Now that the snow days are behind us (hopefully for good) we're looking forward to working with your global explorers for tomorrow's passport check.
If you can spare some time tomorrow morning after drop-off we could use a few extra hands! Please just come to the cafetorium. No need to sign up. The "passport check" runs from 8:50am - 11:00am and it’s a really fun way to interact with our great Alameda 2nd-5th graders. We have a blast!
For more information about the club and preparing your child for the monthly checks, please visit our web page.

Have some wine to spare for a good cause?
Great! We'll take it!
We're preparing for the Alameda Wall of Wine game of chance at the Alameda Starlight Auction on February 25! Our goal is to collect 100 bottles of wine valued $20 or higher. Drop off bottles in the office or if you have large quantities (yes, please!!!) contact us for pick up. You may also drop off wine to Devani Scheidler at her home (3124 NE 49th Ave).
Please note: If you are contributing wine you should complete an auction donation form for all wine with the value clearly listed, even if you wish to remain anonymous. Please wrap the completed form around the bottle before leaving it in the office or dropping it at Devani's home. Your donation form is your receipt; so please make a copy at home if needed.
Please email Devani Scheidler at auctionwine@alamedaschool.org for more information. |

 SCRIP TIP:
New to SCRIP? Start Small.
If you haven't yet participated in our SCRIP program and are curious, give it a try this week! The best way to get started is to buy something small, like a $25 card for someplace you shop weekly...Fred Meyer, Amazon.com or Starbucks, for instance. Every gift card you purchase results in a donation for Alameda!
It's really quite easy to get started!
- Complete your SCRIP release form
- Fill out your SCRIP order form
- Write a check payable to Alameda PTA
- Turn all of the above into the office or drop it off in the school lobby on Monday mornings.
Orders due by 3:15pm on Monday. Depending on your chosen mode of delivery, you'll then receive your order in your child’s backpack or will be able to pick it up in the office after 3pm Thursday.

If you’re able to help, please email christineboyd@comcast.net. If you’re only able to stay for an hour or two, we’re still happy to have your help.
