| LACS Fund Raising |
 |
Los Altos Christian School is fortunate to
have no minimum fundraising commitments for the families of children
enrolled. This characteristic is rare for local private schools. But
fundraising does provide for the extras that help make LACS such a great
environment for our children. This year the Parent Teacher Fellowship's (PTF)
fundraising efforts have allowed LACS to purchase new playground
equipment, new science lab kits, help send the staff to the ACSI
convention, and provided a very generous Christmas "love gift."
Additionally, the PTF provides several thousand dollars annually
for the production of on-campus educational assemblies, such as the
acclaimed “Mad Science” programs.
The
PTF hosts some fun and easy ways to help support LACS. The annual
Walk-A-Thon raised over $13,000 last year, and the 2007 Chili Cook-off
showcased the culinary talents of parents, students and staff while
grossing approximately $40,000 for LACS.

eScrip--Easy Money for Schools
|
| |
 Through eScrip, you can help raise money for your
school without even thinking about it. It is a program
that you set up one time, and forget
it! All you do is register your Safeway Club card and/or your debit
or credit cards with eScrip. Then whenever you use those cards
at a participating eScrip merchant, the school gets a percentage. Easy,
huh? For more information check
out their website at http://www.escrip.com. You
will need to know the LACS Group ID number is 139438210.

| |
Last year the eScrip program raised $5,984
for LACS. Just think what we can do if
we ask friends or relatives to support LACS through eScrip as well!

The PTF Mission
|
|
All PTF programs are designed to support LACS in
one of the three following categories: Service Projects, Support
Programs, and Capital Needs. |
|
Service Projects are events that enhance
the community of the LACS family. Included in this category are the
Get Acquainted Barbecue, the Art and Science Fair, Young Authors Fair, and Year-End Picnic. |
|
Support Programs directly support
the educational experience or contribute to the welfare of the LACS
family. This year PTF will support school-wide assemblies, such as
Mad Science, as well as the Annual Christmas Love Offering for Faculty and
Staff. |
|
Capital Needs are expenditures
that fall outside the school's operating budget, and significantly improve
learning opportunities. |
