Dear Families,
It was great to see many of you at the Walk-A-Thon last Saturday! It’s always a fun event for everyone. :)
Tuesday is Family Night, so there is no homework that night so you can omit a page from the homework packet.
Tuesday is also Family Golf Night for AVHSC. You can go anytime between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. at Golfland, 976 Blossom Hill Road in San Jose: https://www.golfland.com/ sanjose/ 50% of the fees for all rounds of golf purchased by Alta Vista families and friends will be donated back to the school. ** Must let the cashier know you are with Alta Vista for the proceeds to go back to the school.
We will have an Art Vistas lesson and project on Wednesday at 9:30. It is always nice to have extra parent helpers for the project. Please let me know if you can make it.
We would greatly appreciate donations of hand sanitizer gel and baby wipes.
We have been really good about returning our library books; let’s keep that up!
I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
