Terra Linda Parents! 

Many thanks to all of you that stopped by our OneTL table while on campus last week during Back To School Night. We loved meeting every one of you, answering your questions and handing out those ever so important donation envelopes. There was an amazing cooler that was raffled for those that donated prior to midnight on Friday the 13th. Please join me in congratulating Alexandra Ament on being our lucky winner!


To make your donation today, please go to http://www.onetl.org. Our boosters depend on your generosity to fund their programs (academic excellence, art, athletics, drama, music and scholarship) and we thank you in advance for giving and allowing us to continue to provide our students with a wonderful, well-rounded education at TL!

As I continue to look forward to a busy, exciting and lucrative year with the Terra Linda Boosters, please feel free to contact me at zooder49@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Have a great day!

BE THE INFLUENCE 

Two years ago, we launched a program called Be the Influence. BTI is a parent support program consisting of a network of parents in Marin dedicated to keeping teens safe and away from drugs for as long as possible. BTI provides access to a secure database of like-minded parents who pledge not to host teen parties with alcohol, marijuana and other drugs. BTI also provides bi-monthly newsletters with parenting tips and facts about different drugs.

We invite you to check out www.betheinfluence.us for more information about this community and hope that you join the growing list of TLHS families who are BTI members.
