Hey folks--
This weekend concludes The Green Team's shoe drive at Bret Harte! Please bring your shoes to the school anytime during school hours, OR this Saturday April 30th, during our Community Work Day from 9-12 a.m.

We will sort shoes for donation to an emergency relief organization, and recycling to be used for play fields.

The PTA is asking for donations to help pay for shipping, which is underwritten by a minigrant by the Bret Harte PTA. $1 per pair is requested. Drivers are also needed to take boxes of recycled BOOKS to www.booksforthebarrios.com in Concord.
