What are membership dues? Dues provide some money for the SMPA to work with. Funds get put to use toward the computer teacher, field trips, books for the Learning Resource Center, and other activities. The more money coming in, the more we allocate. Your money does not go to a company or salesperson as in a Catalog Sale, so we get 100% use of your money.
Why is it $25? This is a suggested amount. Give whatever you can, whatever is comfortable. If every family can chip it a little, we will have a lot. So far, $1805 have been raised.
There will be a questionnaire sent out soon on 1) What you want in a fundraiser 2) How best we can raise money 3) Whatever else we can think of.

Buy General Mills products with the Box Tops for Education coupon. Each box top is worth 10¢. Box Tops collected from the 2007-2008 school year totaled $278, 2006-2007 totaled 2806 for $280.60 + 83 Super @ $0.30 each = $305.50.
Please cut the Box Top outside the dotted line, leaving the date on. Also it saves time and postage if you would trim them to size also. General Mills does not give credit when the date is cut off or when they have expired.
Box Tops are mailed to General Mills at the end of February and SMPA gets a check a few weeks later.
Please sign up online. Get coupons, news, and special offers.

| Uniform Exchange - San Miguel’s Clothes Closet sale days run the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 7:30 - 8:30 a.m in front of the office. We need white and yellow polo shirts, shorts, skorts, pants, jumpers, and other uniform items. We'll even take non-uniform items and shoes. If you have any usable items, you may donate them at the school office or at the Exchange. Thank you. Lupe Cervantes will be running the Exchange.
Polo shirts, blouses, shorts $3
Skirts, jumpers $4
Pants, sweatshirts, and sweaters $5
Jackets $3 - $5
or free exchange for a different size.
$826 was raised during this school year, $1044 during 2005-2006 and $1389 for 2004-2005.
Prior to exchanging uniform items please clean them. There must not be any stains, holes, rips, and tears. Exchanges are uniform items only for the same item, e.g. shirt for shirt. Please be certain items are school attire, as many items brought in do not conform to the school uniform code.
After receiving exchange items, we wash, mend, replace buttons and zippers as needed, and iron the items prior to being sold. We are volunteers, so the cleaning and mending are done on our own time and at our own expense. If you can help out by volunteering your services or donating items, such as thread, zippers, buttons, detergent, bleach, or fabric softener, it will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your support and cooperation.
Guadalupe Cervantes, Elena Gomez, and Brenda Moya
