The PTO needs to have a special meeting to vote specifically on increasing the budget for our upcoming Clifford PTO auction. Our auction is the largest PTO fundraising event, and it will be held on Saturday, March 16, 2013, from 5PM to 9:30PM.
We propose to increase the budget from $2,500 to $6,000 to cover up-front costs for this year’s 70s Groove & Auction.
Special meeting: Thursday, Feb 14, 8:20AM (right after drop-off), in the PTO office.
Don Dias (Director of Facilities for the Redwood City School District) will be speaking about how to improve traffic at Clifford. We will be voting on the Frog Pond Project and talking about great ways to promote Willy Wonka Jr. Those who have 5th Graders may be interested in hearing about the fundraiser to help defer the cost of Outdoor Ed. And terrific news: The Multicultural Festival is back on the calendar!
A light dinner will be served. Kids are welcome, but be aware that there is no childcare on site.
Whether you’re blessed––or cursed––with a sweet tooth, you’ll love your sugary ride into Wonka’s world. Enjoy a fabulous family night out (or matinée) watching Clifford’s students in Willy Wonka Junior, Feb 22-24, in San Carlos.

Gob-stopper, anyone?! Here’s a sneak peek of a critical prop!
Alternatively, you can go online to purchase––and your tix will be waiting at the door for you before the show!
Performances:
Mustang Hall, Central Middle School, 828 Chestnut Street, San Carlos
For additional details about Willy Wonka Junior and the San Carlos Children’s Theater, visit the SCCT web site.
Note that reserved seating will be assigned according to the date of purchase, and will not be available the day of the performance. (Tickets are $12 at the door.) Children under 2 years do not need a ticket unless they require an individual seat.
Cast families: By now, we hope that you have turned in your ticket order form and payment. If you haven’t––and you want to buy reserved seats––remember that the sooner you order them, the “better” your seats!
Produced by the PTO, the new 2012/2013 Clifford School Directory is available. If you already donated $$ to the PTO, you automatically get one––and you will receive a directory from your child (via folders).
You can also purchase a directory for $4 from 8AM to 9AM, week days, outside the school office.
