Parents,
We need your help. Raising $75,000 in the next month may seem unattainable, so to make this more manageable we are asking each parent of a child at Old River School to notify family, friends and businesses they frequent to ask for a tax deductible donation to save the school. If every parent could raise $600, we could raise enough money to save our school. We have form letters available to use, please go to the schools website and click on the ORPTC page for a copy!

The rummage sale this Saturday has been cancelled.

This Thursday is our fundraiser at Chuck E. Cheese for 3-9pm!!

May 2nd we will be having a tri tip dinner and silent auction at Deluna Ranch from 5-9pm. Tickets will be $20 and children tickets (for a hotdog plate) will be available for $5 at the door. We are asking for parents to each sell 10 tickets to the fun event! Please help!

This Tuesday we will be meeting to call parents to ask for help and writing letters to businesses from 7-8:30 in the school office, please come and help if you can!

Please Help Save Old River School

Dear Family & Friends,

This school year the Knightsen School District had the good fortune to open a brand new school, Old River Elementary. It has been an exciting year of learning for our students. They have worked very hard to their best and have grown tremendously. Unfortunately, due to state budget cuts and the depressed economy, our new school may be forced to close for the coming school year. We are asking you to help the Old River Parent Teacher Club raise the $75,000 which is needed to keep our school open. Your donation would be tax deductible and all money raised would directly to keeping the school open. In the event that the school did close, your donation would be returned to you.

With your support we know that we can continue to provide wonderful opportunities for our students on our beautiful campus. Your support for Old River School is greatly appreciated. Donations may be sent to:
Old River Elementary School
30 Learning Lane
Brentwood CA 94513.

Please make checks payable to Old River Parent Teacher Club (ORPTC) and note to whom and where you would like your donation receipt sent. Thank you for your generosity!
