Bianchini’s Market Honors Local Schools

Bianchini’s Market has contributed $588,876.12 to the community through their eScrip program over the last 10 years.

Clifford School was invited to participate in a very special event in honor of their generosity and community support. Clifford representatives were Susan Alley, PTO eScrip Chairman, and Christina Sullivan, PTO President.

Bianchinis2The reception was hosted by eScrip. Jean Wilkie, eScrip representative, and her team hosted refreshments, which included a variety of sandwiches, fruits, and drinks. They gave local schools the opportunity to thank Kevin and Chris Bianchini for their support — as well as a chance to sign a huge banner with their personal thank-you message! This banner will be hung in the Bianchini’s Market for all shoppers to see.

A giant check was presented to Kevin and Chris on behalf of eScrip, and guests learned that Bianchini’s Market was the first company in the Bay Area to move from “paper-scrip” to eScrip ten years ago. This makes Bianchini’s Market a true pioneer for businesses to donate to the community —  in an easy way.

Bianchini’s Market is starting a new way to donate this June, by coordinating eScrip donations through their rewards card. Not only will this attract those who are unsure of having their credit cards registered online, it will alleviate the need to sign up your debit or credit card annually. Those who already have Bianchini’s Market rewards cards can simply sign up using their phone number as well.

For more information on eScrip and the local businesses that support eScrip, please log on to eScrip.com.

Spring Artwork at Peet’s by Clifford Painters!

Spring has sprung at Peet’s on Laurel Street in San Carlos, thanks to the new art show, courtesy of our very own Clifford students. Through the PTO’s Art in Action program, 1st Graders created their own paintings inspired by Monet’s “Bridge over a Pond of Water Lilies.”

Monet1Thank you to all the parent volunteers who taught the Monet art lesson — and assisted in class — and thank you to the parent volunteers who made the time to hang the new artwork at Peet’s (and take down the old artwork!)

Dash for Cash: Lap-a-thon 2014 is Today!

lapathonMay 2nd, Friday: It’s our annual Lap-a-thon FUNraiser, DASH FOR CA$H. The students start their laps, class by class, at 8:30AM, and things wrap up at roughly 2:20PM. Scroll down towards the end of this posting for the complete schedule!

Click here for the Pledge Form.

Note: Printed copies are also available in the school office (on the flyer display case, near the door).

This year, we want to highlight that May is “National Physical Fitness and Sports Month” – an opportune time to get our K-8 students to dash while raising ca$h. The money raised will help pay for the various PTO-sponsored programs in our school, such as Rhythm and Moves (K-5 PE), Marine Science Institute Program, and Art-in-Action. Last year we raised almost $14,000, and our goal is to beat that amount this year!

Got 30 minutes to spare on the day? We need volunteers, and there are various shifts available. We need parents to help with setup, first aid, lap markers, escorting individual classes, cleanup, and more.

This is a super-fun way to get involved, while you cheer on and watch your student complete laps. Learn more and sign up for a spot here.

Lap-A-Thon Schedule:
8:30 – 9:00am – 2nd & 1st
9:10 – 9:40am – 3rd
10:05 – 10:25am – Kindergarten + K/1
