Happy Season of Giving and Gratitude!

As we get ready for the holiday season full of joy and family, we would like to express our gratitude for our parent community. 

As we all know our school entrances and traffic are often congested and we are thankful for the hard work of our crossing guards who allow our kids to walk, roll, and drive into campus safely. This holiday season we would like to show our gratitude by collecting funds for holiday gift cards for our regular crossing guards. If you are able to donate, please do so via Venmo (username @michele-lago) or cash/check made out to Michele Lago (an envelope will be at both the TL and Mariposa offices). Please make your donations by Monday, December 19th. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank the City of San Carlos for funding our crossing guards across the district and prioritizing safe routes to school.
