Year-End Teacher & Tami Gift

Norma Candia (Enzo’s mom) has offered to help us collect some $$$ for a gift for Brent Hester, Priscilla and Nani. She is also thinking it would be great to collect a little extra $$$ for Tami Oki – our yearbook chair – to thank her for the enormous amount of work she has put into working with the students on their handmade yearbooks.

If you would like to participate in a year-end teacher gift for our fabulous 5th grade teachers and/or a gift for Tami, then send your contribution in to school with your student in an envelope marked “Yearbook”. (A great way to collect for the teacher gift, and keep it a secret!)

Cash is fine, but you can also send a check, made out to Norma Candia. Send your gift in quick, since we’re coming to the end of the year very quick!
