Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
https://www.ralphs.com/asset/vn_62fbadb748f5698e8dc9d10f6a711d05/ralphs_instructions_2016-2017

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
https://www.ralphs.com/asset/vn_62fbadb748f5698e8dc9d10f6a711d05/ralphs_instructions_2016-2017

Calling all parents of grades 1-5!

Please note, if you plan a project, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. The children are only at the tables for 15 mins max.

If you have not made your contribution, please do so today! You can do it securely on-line at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/

Currently, we are at 51% contribution school-wide, but anything short of 100% participation could result in program reduction or cuts in 2017-2018.  All donations are voluntary however, since the Warner Annual Fund benefits all Warner students, WAVE encourages all families to give (either at the suggested amount or an amount that is meaningful to you).

Hope in a Suitcase
Warner to Collect New Donations for Los Angeles Foster Children
It’s almost Valentine’s Day so this year let’s wrap our arms and hearts around the children in our community who need it the most! Many children enter foster care with nothing but the clothes on their backs or with the few personal belongings they can quickly fit into a plastic trash bag. This year, Warner Avenue will collect NEW essentials and comfort items for boys and girls (ages 2T-12) entering foster care:
* Grades K-1: NEW Small Stuffed Animals (smaller than a sheet of paper)
* Grades 2-3: NEW Pajamas (with legs–no nightgowns)
* Grades 4-5: NEW Sweatshirts (no school, camp, team or religious graphics)
If you would like to donate but don’t have time to shop, monetary donations are welcome online at  www.hopeinasuitcase.org  Please specify “Warner Avenue” when you submit your donation. A  confirmation letter for tax purposes will be sent for all monetary donations.
Please place donations in boxes in the main hallway near the office. 
Drop off dates: 2/6 – 2/17
Questions? Email Rebecca George  rebecca@thefirmforgood.com and Neda Rahimi neda26@aol.com

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.

WAVE Meeting – Monday, February 6th
 

   
Parents are invited to the next WAVE meeting Monday, Feb. 6th in the Banooni Family Auditorium right after morning assembly.
This meeting will be unique because WAVE will be holding an election to select Nominating Committee members.  Nom Comm is the group formed for the purpose of nominating candidates for the WAVE Board of Officers & Directors for the 2017-18 school year.  Nom Comm will present the slate of nominees at the April WAVE meeting and then this slate will be voted upon at the May meeting.  Individuals who are well suited for Nom Comm are those that are or have been active at school and know many parents.
If you are interested in being a Nom Comm member (or know someone who would be good at it), please join us at the meeting to participate in this process.  Any questions, please email Jeannine Sehati (jrsehati@gmail.com) or Sabrina IsHak (  sabrina.ishak@gmail.com).

Hope in a Suitcase
Warner to Collect New Donations for Los Angeles Foster Children
It’s almost Valentine’s Day so this year let’s wrap our arms and hearts around the children in our community who need it the most! Many children enter foster care with nothing but the clothes on their backs or with the few personal belongings they can quickly fit into a plastic trash bag. This year, Warner Avenue will collect NEW essentials and comfort items for boys and girls (ages 2T-12) entering foster care:
* Grades K-1: NEW Small Stuffed Animals (smaller than a sheet of paper)
* Grades 2-3: NEW Pajamas (with legs–no nightgowns)
* Grades 4-5: NEW Sweatshirts (no school, camp, team or religious graphics)
If you would like to donate but don’t have time to shop, monetary donations are welcome online at  www.hopeinasuitcase.org  Please specify “Warner Avenue” when you submit your donation. A  confirmation letter for tax purposes will be sent for all monetary donations.
Please place donations in boxes in the main hallway near the office. 
Drop off dates: 2/6 – 2/17
Questions? Email Rebecca George  rebecca@thefirmforgood.com and Neda Rahimi neda26@aol.com
