Dear Parents and Guardians,
Happy Presidents’ Day! Hope you are enjoying the long weekend with your family. Tomorrow is the last day of our Spring Fundraiser: Express Feedback for Good (EFG). We are doing a great job with our feedback! Our goal is to earn $40,000 for our school and we have already earned over $30,537.60. Each brand survey you do online is worth $1.60. Please spread the word. Each adult (18 and over) is encouraged to become a “Superstar” by giving high quality feedback in the form of brand opinions (max of 75 per person) from the comfort of their phone/device. Each survey should take about a minute. Please take your time on these surveys, so they can generate money for our school. There are no products to sell, and it costs nothing – only your time! Each survey takes about a minute. You and your family and friends will earn 2 service hours for each Superstar designated to your child when you send the school a screenshot. Please participate and encourage others to do so by this by Tuesday, 2/21! We have a lot of people signed up, so now just encourage them to hit 75 surveys each.
To ensure that you have full credit for all Superstars in your family, please email the office with your total hours by 2/17. Amy Lucas and Elvia Franco will be recording your service hours (up to 14 hours if you get 7 Superstars) with this EFG fundraiser. You can send the screenshots and tally your family’s total hours to: amabellalucas1972@gmail.com and elviafranco24@gmail.com
This week is the beginning of Lent. Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday and February 22 is Ash Wednesday. We will have our All School Mass that day. Every Friday during Lent we will have our Stations of the Cross at 1:15, followed by Benediction. Tomorrow is the first day of re-registration for next school year. If you have a registration hold, please do NOT register your child until further notice.
As a reminder, please do your LAUSD online survey using the link Mrs. Ray sent out. This is due by March 3. It’s important that we get 100% compliance, as this info generates funding for our school! If you send your child’s teacher a screenshot of the submission page, your child will receive a Free Dress pass. You also got the parent survey link. Mr. Lynch and I would love to hear your feedback. The positives are always wonderful to hear, and we also like hearing ways we can improve your experience here at SAP. We look forward to your suggestions as well.
Blessings,
Mrs. Grey and Mr. Lynch

SCHOOL DONATIONS AND SERVICE HOURS
For families looking to pay off their service hour commitment, our school gives the option to buy Scrip/gift cards and donate them to SAP. We buy a lot of materials and supplies from Office Depot, Walmart/Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Starbucks, and Target for much needed supplies, so if you buy Scrip valued at $15/hour and donate it to the school to offset costs, we will credit your service hour account. Parents who volunteer on Saturdays (every 2-3 weeks) can earn service hours cleaning our school with the Interior Maintenance PLC.
