BTW PTSA is happy to announce the first ever
Jan

The “HAPPENING” will be on January 19, 2012 in the Black Box Theater, and will be a collaborative, improvisational event involving Dance, Music, Theatre, and Visual Art students. The event is based on Kyle Richards’ original writings on CREATIVITY and IMAGINATION. There will be a minimum of 3 performances beginning at 5:00 p.m. in hopes to raise funds to help defray the burden of his rising medical costs for his rehabilitation from the severe stroke. The medical fund is being set up in such a way that any donations will be tax deductible. More information on that specific fund will be announced closer to the performances. Kyle is the creative soul of Booker T. Washington HSPVA; please make plans to attend and spread the word.

Get a $1 off Jamba Juice coupon!
In 2009, National PTA® and Jamba Inc. announced a three-year partnership to support parents and teachers in creating school-based programs that encourage healthy lifestyle choices. The partnership builds upon Jamba’s longtime commitment to supporting local schools through fundraising efforts at the store level. The partnership also furthers National PTA’s mission to increase family engagement in their children’s school by providing additional funding for local PTAs to create and execute programs that promote physical activity and encourage healthier eating.
To support these initiatives, Jamba and National PTA created a School Appreciation Card—a keychain-sized swipe card that can be used with every purchase at participating Jamba Juice locations. Simply go to a participating Jamba Juice store, make a purchase, swipe the card, and 12% of sales will be donated back to PTA—10% to your local PTA and 2% to National PTA. As a special bonus for PTA swipe cardholders, Jamba Juice is offering $1 off any size smoothie from October 17–31, 2011.
Go to PTA.org/jambajuice to print out the coupon. For more information about the program and to sign up to receive swipe cards, go to jambajuice.com/pta.
Get your smoothie today!
Jamba Juice is a Proud National Sponsor of National PTA.
