MB Education Foundation
OUR LIBRARIANS INSPIRE THE LOVE OF READING Too many school districts have phased out librarians. It's sad because librarians ignite our children's love of literature and foster their creativity. Fortunately, your MBEF donation ensures that MBUSD students will always have amazing librarians, like our Mrs. Snively, to offer guidance, support, and inspiration.
Please give today.

RENEW YOUR RALPHS CARD It's time to renew your Ralphs Rewards Card so every time you shop at Ralphs a percentage will go to GV. Have the cashier scan
our school's bar code. No need to print anything, just pull up last year's
flyer on your phone, the
bar code is still good.
SAVE YOUR MALL RECEIPTS Save every receipt from any business in the
Manhattan Village Mall -- any vendor from Marine to Rosecrans and Sepulveda to Village Drive. Turn them in to the Mall Concierge, the PTA room, or your child's classroom and we'll earn points toward a share of $7,500 earmarked for MBUSD schools.
Currently we're in 5th place behind Pacific.
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION Keep clipping those box tops found on
participating products and turn them in to the PTA room or your child's classroom. With a school our size, these little 10-centers really do add up over the course of a year!

Picture Make-ups, Re-takes, & 5th Grade Panoramic 10/20
MAKE-UPS AND DO-OVERS If your child missed picture day, there is a second chance on 10/20. There is no paperwork and no pre-payment is needed. If you would like a new picture taken on 10/20, please send the proof from the first one with your child. The new picture overwrites the first one so there is no going back if you decide you like the first one better. Questions? Contact Sandy Quigley.
