Good to see you all earlier this month at the AHS Back to School Night! Do you know what funding the PTSA (Parent Teacher Student Association) makes possible? More than I ever realized and possibly you too (I will share the big list with you next week)! If you need no convincing, we look forward to your contribution to PTSA today! We hope to reach the goal of 10% family contributors to 100% and will share the progress as we go. Everything counts! Thanks to the families that have already contributed our amazing high school! 

Here's the link to make it easy for the rest of us: http://AHS.ausdk12.org/ptsa/

Support Albany Schools: "Last Mondays and Tuesdays"

So long, summer! It’s time to ring in a brand new school year!  The first days of school call for special attention, so treat yourself and the kids to ice cream and/or a night off from cooking!  Mark your calendars for Last Monday and Tuesday and help support Albany’s amazing schools! Please remember to mention SchoolCARE when making your purchase.

If you haven’t tried Mr. Dewie’s Cashew Creamery yet, you’re in for a real treat!  Ice creams are made from cashews and are dairy free, gluten free, soy free, additive free, and made with organic ingredients.  They are located at 1116 Solano Avenue and open from 12 pm – 9 pm. They’ve committed 10% of all sales to SchoolCARE on Monday, August 28, so stop in and say hello!

Restaurant Valparaiso, which has been claimed to be the home of the best empanadas in the Bay Area, has committed 10% from all sales to SchoolCARE on Tuesday, August 29.  Dine in or take out homemade Chilean and Latin American cuisine.  Located at 1403 Solano Avenue, they are open on Tuesday from 11:30 a.m. – 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. – 9:30 p.m.

Did you know that when you purchase an appliance from Galvin Appliance they will donate 1% of the sale to SchoolCARE? It’s true. All you have to do is be an Albany resident and mention SchoolCARE any time of the year. Galvin Appliance is located at 619 San Pablo Avenue.
