jjlaisne@...

Send Email

Hello Dixie Men and Chixz:

Yes, it’s already that time again! As many of you now know, Dixie Canyon's 2010 Backlot Party & Auction will be held on Saturday, April 24, 2010, from 5:30 – 10:30 p.m., on the New York Street Backlot at CBS Studios in Studio City.

The theme for this year’s Auction is "A Night In Las Vegas - Dixie Canyon Avenue School Style,” which promises to be a fantastic time for everyone to let his or her hair down, play some Poker, Blackjack and Roulette, bid at the auction, and just PARTY!

Please save-the-date on your calendars for our school’s Auction... April 24, 2010. This is a great event - a lot of fun and for us to continue to “Speak To A Generation Through A Generation.” All monies raised from this year’s event will continue to help fund our Computer Lab, Art, and Drama programs, but especially to fund what will be Dixie’s new Science Lab and bringing Music and Instruments back into our school. These are programs not paid for by LAUSD and if we do not raise enough monies to sustain them, then they will be cut from the school schedule, but more importantly, from our kids ability to fully have the education and enrichment in which they so desperately need.

In other words, “Don’t Be Tardy For This School Year’s Party.” By the way, please invite all of your friends and their friends (married or single), and family to this year’s event.

Further information and needs for this event will follow shortly.

Rock On Dixie… Rock On,

Chelé Moore

2009 –2010 Dixie Canyon’s Auction Chair

Hello Dixie family and friends,

Attached is the December Dixie Newsletter, in it's full-color pdf form. Please take a look at it to catch up on what is happening at our school, and to also see who is generously sponsoring our school (including Atlas Audio Video & Communications, which was inadvertantly omitted from our printed newsletter – my apologies!).

There are camps to send your kids to over the holidays, a coupon to save on haircuts, tutoring services, piano lessons, dance classes (salsa for grown-ups!), and even manicure services to take advantage of during this holiday season. Please let all our sponsors and advertisers know any way you can, how much they are appreciated by our school.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

Kathy Barbro

jjlaisne@...

It's finally here!!! Next week Dixie Canyon Avenue School will open the doors of its beautiful

Annual Kids Holiday Gift Boutique for a 1-week limited engagement!

Every class will have the opportunity to come to Room 30 and buy gifts for their brothers, sisters, moms, dads, grandparents and anybody else they want to shop for. Prices range from 50 cents to $10.00.

You will be hearing from your room parents for your class' specific time. It would be a good idea for you to send along a list of names as well as whatever money you are sending with your child. Friday will be an open shopping day for everyone and the Shoppe will be open until 2:00 every day even on early dismissal days.

WE STILL NEED VOLUNTEERS! Please let George Collins know when can help at dixiecanyonvolunteers@... as soon as possible. We could also really use donations of festive wrapping paper, gift bags and tape. Please try to keep it non-religious and non-denominational. We will be placing a bin for this purpose next to the PTA/sign-up board. Please drop your donations there.

Thanks a lot for all your help!! This is going to be such a fun event especially for the kids!

See you there! The crew,

Hello Everyone!

Attached is the yearbook order form. The deadline for ads and tribute pages is February 15th. The yearbook orders will be ongoing until they arrive in early June. However, we have to tell the company how many we are ordering by February 15th so preordering is the only way you are going to guarantee your child a yearbook.

Order forms will be going out in the next week or so but I am attaching it here as well. I have also pasted it down below.

Every child will be featured provided their picture was taken on picture day. If they missed those days, it will be up to you the parent to submit a photo in JPEG format on a CD labelled with your child's name, teacher and room number and grade and say "class picture" so thta we know what it is for.

Tribute pages are where you can dedicate a full page, 1/2 page or quarter page to just your child. When these are submitted they must be a finished product in JPEG format with pictures and writing etc so that our team can drag and drop them into a template. Places like Staples, Kinkos and Office Depot can scan your images and burn them onto a CD if you do not know how to do this. deadline for these are on February 15, 2010. Don't wait until the last minute. Limited amount of pages will be sold so first come first serve!

PLEASE, PLEASE...do not email me or the yearbook team any photos. Most email programs reduce the quality of the photo and some of us do not have the capability to burn CD's. So, to avoid any confusion or the possibility of your photos not getting into the yearbook, please submit them on a CD with your child's name, teacher, room number and your phone number and name so if we cannot read it we can get another one from you. Make a back up please. Last year several people submitted CD's that were unreadable.

All orders for the yearbook or the tribute pages and ads must be paid for to guarantee your copy or tribute/ad spot. Please do not submit cash. We had several people that submitted cash and it never made it to the yearbook committee. If you submit cash, it is at your own risk. These orders and enevelopes pass through many hands before getting to their final destination.

Thank you ,

2 Things! I will see you all tonight at CPK for dinner. BTW, 20% goes to the school. You can order out as well...just have a copy of the flier.(see attachment)
Secondly, a family donated $1000 to the Covert Committee. This committee is to seek out and help our families who are being most challenged. All of this money will go to support our Dixie Families in need. I am most proud of this spirit of giving. A Pumpkin Fair is great, but if a family is struggling to eat...well, we know what to do at Dixie. Lets really brighten up these holidays for everyone by giving...and asking for nothing in return. Our name will not go in a news letter. There is no shout out at a PTA meeting. No trophies. Just the spirit of giving...If you want to match this gift or donate anything to help one of these families...Contact me and I will get the information to the right people. Be well...J

2nd place is an iPod Shuffle with a $30 iTunes gift card.
3rd place is a 10 game pack with a $60 gift card to ToysRus.
The race is so close, if you just picked up and paid for a couple of cases tomorrow and sell the bars later...that could be the deciding factor. See you in the morning!!! Dixie, you have done a terrific job with your chocolate sales! Alison daisynu@...

Hey Dixie!

Can you believe we only have two more days to sell CHOCOLATE? The greatest thing about it is we only have 55 boxes left. Please come by tomorrow morning and pick up one more box to sell. We don't want to send any boxes back. Please take it to your work, neighbors, or any other places in your community! Everyone LOVES chocolate. We are doing so awesome with this fundraiser and you all should be so proud of yourselves.

Remember, that in order to qualify for the raffle, your money for the chocolate must be in by Friday! The race is too close to call right now. There are so many cool prizes!!

Lastly, SCRIP will be sold in front of school tomorrow. Come bring your checks made out to Dixie Canyon PTA and support our wonderful teachers. Some of our new SCRIP cards include MENCHIES, DISNEY, MAGGIANOS, CHILIS, PICK UP STIX, VONS, PAVILLIONS, and ALBERTSONS!

Also, the random raffle for anyone who sells a box, and the class that sells the most gets an Ice Cream Party. So, if you have an office building you work in, please pick up a box tomorrow morning in front of the school...From, The Chocolate People.

I know right after Halloween, all I think of is Dixie Chocolate, haha. There are 87 more boxes left...come and get them. If you turn the money in before Friday the 6th, you are automatically entered into the raffle. So, see our chocolate folks in the morning and pick up a box. Heck, you could buy 10 boxes and just sell them over time at your office or sporting events. Checks are made out to PTA for Dixie! The race for 1st and 2nd place is very tight and 3rd place is wide open. Remember, anyone who sells a case and turns in their money before Friday is automatically a winner, and their name goes into a separate drawing for BIG PRIZES!!!
Side note...50% of all sales goes to our school, and that is a great thing...

Also, for those of you that want more boxes to sell over the weekend...pick them up in the morning and after school. If you have questions ask Alison at daisynu@... or Jen at benandjer@.... The sales are going great and the prizes are so exciting. Remember 50% of every sell goes to our school. See you tomorrow everyone!!!

We have a quiet committee, called "the covert committee". This is the committee that tries to find the kids and families that need a little help. What they have found is that some kids at our school will not have a Halloween costume. It just is not in the budget for these families. The committee has asked me to ask you for used or unused costumes for these kids. They requested them to be clean and with no rips. This will be handled anonymously...so no big productions. We just had our big production...The Pumpkin Fair...now it is time to get back to serving our families...ALL of them. Please bring them to the office asap....so these kids can be in our parade.
Also, your old and unused reading glasses can be turned into the office. They will be sent to the needy who cannot read because they cannot see the words. Find out more at the next PTA meeting.
Bring your recycling to the school tomorrow and keep our school on the GREEN path.
All the best, Jay @ Dixie

If you have not picked up a box of chocolate to sell for the Chocolate Fundraiser, look for Alison, Jen or Marc tomorrow morning in front of school. They will have consent forms and lots and lots of chocolate for you to sell. If you have sold one, why not take another? We are almost out of boxes...can you believe it??? Thank you to everyone who is making such a huge effort to sell chocolate. We are doing awesome with our sales so far. Lets sell out and get more!!!! The more boxes you sell, the bigger your chances are to win one of the amazing raffle prizes...Xbox 360, Sony PSP, or a $200 shopping spree at ToysRus!

Don't forget SCRIP will be sold out front of school tomorrow morning. Bring cash, check, or now WE TAKE CREDIT CARDS!! Think of all the places you shop at daily and we probably have it or can get it. All the money goes to your children's teachers!!! The class that sells the most SCRIP this school year will have a walking field trip to Menchies!!! So far, this are the standings for SCRIP sales...

1st Ms. Hughes $2212.50

2nd Ms. Matthews $2187.50

3rd Ms. Prime $1895.00

4th Mr. Barnett $1660.00

The contest is very close. Some buy SCRIP tomorrow!!!!!

Thanks! Hope that is okay!

Alison

The Pumpkin Fair is totally complete...
Our children at Dixie and surrounding schools, totally had memory that they will take with them for the rest of their lives.
The entertainment was totally awesome!
The rides and games were totally off the hook.
The fact that over 150 volunteers came together to work over time? Totally brilliant!
So the totals are great!

In short, I am so proud of what we created for Dixie! BTW, this was not my idea. It was last years PTA board. Me and a countless group of others just gave it a little help. I can promise you this, the children are going to be talking about their Pumpkin Fair for a long time. I am so tired, that I am in tears right now. My feet and back ache. I am beyond exhaustion. I cannot even sleep. I would not have it any other way...With love and respect, Jay Laisne' PTA Presient at Dixie and co chair of the Pumpkin Fair 2009 with Katarina Scheele...baby!

I loathe asking for things...it is not in my nature. However, i must! And sometimes you gotta ask for things. So, here is the list of things the school needs for The Pumpkin Fair to soar as high as possible:
For the Dixie Face Painting Booth:

1). Spritzing bottles

2). Water containers (10 and I'm thinking Tupperware:??)

3). At least 2 dump buckets

4). Paper towels
Dixie daddy's BBQ:
1) cases of bottled water.
2) cases of sodas( regular and diet).
3) Paper plates and napkins.
4) Wipes...You know how messy Daddies can be.
5) Paper Towels.
6) Tattoos
Anyone want to bring their BBQ, so I don't have to bring mine? We need it Friday.

Final note...if you are a parent that has been nervous about getting involved....I understand. For 2 years I didn't do much at all for my school, because I didn't know that there was a need for little ole me. We WANT little ole you. Show up Friday to help set up the fair if you can, and we will work side by side...the way it is suppose to be. Sign up with George at dixiecanyonvolunteer@..., for Saturday at The Pumpkin Fair or anything else that will help a child. Heck the Wonder of reading program has kids waiting for someone to help them. There is always something to do...Tomorrow we paint banners at noon, come on out.
Get your tickets now for 50% off at www.thepumpkinfair.com. They will Not be available on the 24th. Have a great night Dixie Families...Jay at Dixie
