PALO VERDE FOOD DRIVE: Last week!
This is the last week of the Palo Verde Food Drive. You have probably noticed the Second Harvest Food Bank bins at the front and rear entrances of the school. The bins will be out until Friday, November 8. The food and funds will help the Food Bank meet the growing needs in our community. You can donate food by dropping off non-perishable food donations in the barrels located at the front & rear entries of the school. Please no refrigerated or frozen items, leftovers or other perishable foods. You can also donate funds directly by visiting our online Food Drive at
https://www.shfb.org/page.aspx?pid=817&FFDDrive=13 FDHoliday&FFDOrg=112854. Thanks for your support!
Double your PiE Donation
November 1-15 Did you know that without your donations to Palo Alto’s Partners in Education (PiE), Palo Verde wouldn’t have classroom aides, new science enrichment programs, Spectra Art, Project Resilience, or 80% of our reading specialist hours? From November 1-15 you can double your donation to PiE through a $225,000 matching grant. We ask $800 per student, or roughly $4.40 per school day, but please give whatever is meaningful to you and your family by visiting www.papie.org or by filling out a donation envelope at the Palo Verde school office.
Questions? Contact the
