Let\u2019s end the year with joy, cheer, candy and pictures!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Parent Duty<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To ensure that all events and activities run smoothly throughout the year, please sign up for at least 2 parent duties. Only if the 2 duties are fulfilled, will the deposit be refunded. If you are able to spare more time to our community, we would be very thankful.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Please note, if any events\/parent duty signups are canceled\/moved, it is the family\u2019s responsibility to signup for another parent duty or the rescheduled time to fulfill the requirement in order to receive the deposit.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Should you have any questions on your signup, please reach out to Suet Horhota, PCLS PTA Lead, while at school or at <a href=\"mailto:PTA@pcls.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">PTA@pcls.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To check or change your parent duty sign ups, please click this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.signupgenius.com\/go\/20f0a49ada823aafe3-20222023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">SignupGenius link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Additional ways of support<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As we all get settled into the new school year and head into the holiday season, quick reminder and invitation to all returning PCLS families and new members. There are 2 ways to continue supporting our community through our partnership with RaiseRight and AmazonSmile. This is a great way for you to show support on what you already purchase or plan to purchase.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RaiseRight formerly ShopWithScrip<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As the holiday season is here, any physical or electronic gift card purchases will help PCLS, much like the Amazon Smile program.\u00a0 Any fundraising efforts will be at no cost to you and gift cards are purchased based on face value.\u00a0 After you open an account, the gift cards can be purchased on the ShopWithScrip website directly or on their app, RaiseRight (only one login account needed). Once purchased, any e-gift cards are accessible on the app and are reloadable. They can also be emailed as a gift which is convenient during these times. If you prefer to have the gift cards mailed, then there is a small fee of $1 for the first card and $0.50 for each additional. They even have expedited services for those last minute gifts! There is a nominal % transactional fee which applies if using a credit card. If using a bank account, only $0.15 is charged for the entire transaction, whether it&#8217;s 1 or multiple gift cards!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">However, these gift cards are not limited to only the holiday season. You can reload the funds onto a gift card that was previously purchased through ShopWithScrip and use them at restaurants, grocery stores or any other places you frequent. Just think, you can support PCLS while you buy your normal groceries and can even access the egift cards right on the app at checkout!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To get started, please see the instructions attached and make sure that you use the enrollment code below to link your purchases to the PCLS account.
