TEAM EAGLE: Several students are participating in our Team Eagle program headed by our Social Studies teacher, Mrs. Lisa Simpson! The students have provided much needed assistance with a variety of campus projects. They are leading the on-going community service projects on campus. We have collected pink lids from the Yoplait/Dannon yogurt for Breast Cancer Awareness/Research projects. Current projects include the collection of soup labels for school supplies and soda can tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. Congrats and thanks to these students.
SEVERAL COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECTS HAPPENING AT VALLEY VISTA
Ronald McDonald House – Bring in aluminum can tabs! Support the Ronald McDonald House where parents and family members of seriously ill children can stay close by while the child receives treatment. Also they need non-perishable food for the pantries in the Ronald McDonald House. We collect through May 2012… Upcoming programs during the remainder of the year are a holiday food and toy drive for the Oak View Community Center in Huntington Beach and Pennies for Prevention campaign to support the cure of leukemia, lyhmphoma and other blood cancers
¢hange for Change: will be taking place from November – December 1, 2011. Make a difference in the lives of youth by donating loose change to benefit the Huntington Beach Youth Shelter – a —self-haven? for runaway, homeless and at-risk teenagers. The mission is to go beyond basic services and to provide comprehensive guidance and lasting solutions for family reunification.
Fighting Breast Cancer with Yoplait & Dannon Yogurt: Have you ever noticed the pink lids on your yogurt? They are more than just a seal to your delicious treat. For each lid, ten cents is donated to the Breast Cancer Research Fund (up to $1.5 million). In case you didn’t know, this month is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Here at Valley Vista, we are collecting these lids in hopes of raising $250.00 to donate to this cause. Our deadline for this goal is December 16, 2011. So, please save all your lids, give them to your kids, and turn them into the envelopes placed in your classroom. Thank you for helping us to reach our goal!? Our school supports the Susan G. Koman —For the Cure” campaign by donating the pink lids, and we encourage each of our students to bring in at least one lid.
Upcoming programs: during the remainder of the year from November 1 through December 14 is a holiday food and toy drive for the Oak View Community Center in Huntington Beach, and during March of 2012 the Pennies for Prevention campaign to support the cure of leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers will take place.
