Randall's Good Neighbor Program gives to PTSA
Did you know LBJ/LASA PTSA can get money when you buy groceries at Randalls? Just fill out a form at your neighborhood Randall's courtesy booth using the # 10187 to link your Remarkable Card to the PTSA and we'll get 1% of all of the purchases you make at Randalls. This doesn't seem much, but a little bit from each family adds up! You can link 3 charities to your Remarkable Card so no worries if you're already doing this for another school.
Needed:  Red Carpet, Confetti Launcher, & Bench with back
Ms. Edwards is in need of a long red carpet for theater aisles, confetti launcher and a small bench with back. If anyone can donate those items it will be greatly appreciated.
Need: Markers and Colored Pencils
Ms.Gritte's classroom is in need of markers and colored pencils. 6-8 boxes of each or a few value pack boxes would be great. If anybody could donate those items it will be greatly appreciated.
