What new game is your student accessing? Who else can access it? Can your student talk with others while playing? Are they provided with the prizes for clicking on links or visiting rooms?

There are risks to playing games online. In order to better help parents and educators know the risks of new games, we will be sharing helpful information each week about games and sites that students often visit.

The Lewis & Clark PTO has a new, easy fundraiser you can participate in all year! We are accepting can donations!

How it works:

• Ask your teacher for a blue bag on parent square! We will send a blue bag home with your student. The bag will come with a tag on it with the PTO info.

• You then fill up the bag with cans and bottles.

• Return it to Safeway or Fred Meyer Bottle Drop bins.

• The barcode on the bag will open the bottle drop door, you do not have to have a bottle drop account.

• Please only return 1 bag per day

Other Ways you can Help ?

Money from your Bottle Drop account can be donated to Lewis and Clark PTO right from your online account.

Below you will find the link to our appeal website. This is an ongoing PTO fundraiser to support our staff and students throughout the year.
