Gently Used Clothing Hanging Around?
Do you have gently used kids' clothes at home that you're looking to donate or give away? Schoola Stitch is a new online consignment store that sells new and gently used children's clothes and donates part of the sales to schools. It's so easy to do! Just request a bag, fill it with clothes, and either take it to UPS at Peninsula Center or call UPS for a pick up. Stitch will sort it, put it online, and then track sales. For every item sold from a Soleado family, we'll receive up to 40% of the sale price! Use this link for more information:

.jpg)
The Costume Closet is still working on improvements and needs the help of all volunteers. This week and next Wednesday/Thursday the Costume Closet will be open and there are still times available. Please sign up at supersaas.com which has been updated from January through March.
Menders and Ironers do not need to sign up on Supersaas, you do however receive credits for hours worked.
Colonial Days are big for us and the elementary schools in the spring. There is a week reserve policy and many schools from the South Bay use our resource. Look to the Costume Closet for ALL your dress up needs!

Thank you & have a wonderful Holiday Season.
We Appreciate Volunteers!

A big thank you Eva Ruiz and Noell Whitaker for chairing the Teacher's Luncheon "Fire and Ice" dedicated for our wonderful staff taking place Dec. 11th. Many parents also helped with the hot and cold themed menu and decorations. Ultimately it is the teachers we want to appreciate for all they do everyday!
Thank you to Catherine Lucas and Paula Persson for preparing the PTA Memberships that went out with the directories. We hope members will use their discounts at Staples and Legoland to start using their benefits.
A big thank you to Linh Tu for getting us approved as an Amazon affiliate. We are already seeing orders come in through the link and we hope that parents will continue to support Soleado through their Amazon purchases. (See link above.) |
