Message from Mrs. Saunders.......
Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for the week of
September 28th. Our teachers are looking forward to meeting
with you to set goals for your child as well as review assessment
information. CAASPP results from the spring assessment will be
coming home on Friday. Teachers will discuss these results
during conferences.
As you prepare to meet with the teacher, please be thinking
about the goals you would like to set for your child in the areas of
academics, behavior and work habits. This is also a great time to
ask questions and share concerns about your child's educational
program.
Thank you for your generous donations. Our tiger has been
earning his stripes. We have an exciting fundraiser reward
assembly this Friday. We appreciate your support of Tesoro del
Valle!
Music classes began last week with our new music teacher, Mrs.
Osborn. The students are already learning so much. This is our
first week of our new art program with Mrs. Blake. Thank you to
the PTA for supporting the arts!
Please be courteous and follow the safety guidelines in the
parking lot. The safety of all our students is our number one
concern. Please help us by following these rules when dropping

EASY EVERYDAY WAYS TO EARN MONEY FOR EDUCATION
Shoparoo app
Just get the Shoparoo app and simply upload your grocery
store receipts. You get points that translate into dollars for
Tesoro! Use the code vesk8892 and earn a bonus 100 points
once you submit your first receipt. Last year with only 10
active participants, we received $120!
Boxtops
Don't forget to keep clipping and saving BoxTops. Go to
BTFE.com and earn more BoxTops while online
shopping. Below are some additional ways to earn money for
our school:
Target RedCard
Apply for a Target Red card and designate Tesoro under
Target's "Take Charge of Education" program, and a
percentage of everything you spend at Target will go back to
our school. Tesoro's I.D. Number is 122726. The most recent
Target donation to Tesoro was $279.31 with only 33
participants.
Ralph's Community Contribution Program
New this year - we have a scan bar letter that you can print out
and take to Ralph's on your next shopping trip. Just present the
letter along with your Ralph's club card or phone number, and
Tesoro will start earning money every time you shop! The
scan bar letter eliminates having to go online to register.
ESCRIP Program
ESCRIP: Tesoro PTA promotesthe Escrip program. This is a
great way for Tesoro to earn more money, and a lot of the other
schools have had great success. You can go online and
register. Our PTA code is 500016673. Register your
Vons/Pavilions cards and earn rewards for the school. Also they
have an online mall which has even better rewards! So start your
online shopping at Escrip!
Here's How it Works
* You register any one or all of your existing grocery loyalty, debit and credit cards for use in
the program.
* Participating merchants will make contributions to your chosen group based on purchases
made by you, just by using the cards you have registered.
* Your purchases are tracked and available to you online, allowing you to see just how much
you are earning on your child's behalf!
Any questions, please contact diane.glaess@yahoo.com or for a
scan bar letter.
