Reply to the EEF Direct Donation Drive Mailing
You will soon be receiving Charlemagne’s direct drive letter in your mailbox, if you haven’t already. This is a vital part of our fundraising every year, and it is where you can make a huge difference in the quality of your child’s education.
As you may know, our funding from the district has continued to decline. Without support from families like yours, we stand to lose our instructional assistants next year – those critical staff members who provide literacy support in English and French. Without them, we will have less opportunity to target struggling students for additional help, or to offer challenges to advanced students. This would be a huge loss – and would sharply weaken our ability to serve students of different backgrounds and abilities.
You can change this by giving to Charlemagne through the direct drive. Our goal is currently $35,000 – which amounts to about $118 per student. Many families are unable to contribute, and so if you are able, I strongly encourage you to give more. Give as much as you can so we can make sure that Charlemagne continues to be an exemplary school for your own children – and for all students. If your child has grandparents or other family members who may be willing to give, please pass this on to them. If we all pull together as a community, we can do this!

Eat at our Restaurant of the Month
Each month, one or two local restaurants designate a specific day or two for Charlemagne families to enjoy meal and donate around 25 percent of their bill to the school. Keep your eyes open for the restaurant of the month in PTO enews and Tom’s weekly emails.
Thursday evening, April 12 at the Charlemagne Café! Our own chef-in-residence, Kinder parent Artie Leider will be the host for a family-oriented pasta dinner. More details to come!
Buy Your Gas at SeQuential Biofuels
SeQuential Biofuels will donate 5 cents for every gallon of gasoline you purchase from them to Charlemagne!
Owner, Alan Twigg is very into community support and will donate 5 cents a gallon to our school! Whenever you or your family and friends buy gas at a SeQuential Biofuels station, all you need to say is, “I would like to donate!” Then the attendant will ask for your zip code and to which organization you wish to donate. Say “Charlemagne at Fox Hollow Elementary School please!” That is it! At the end of each month, a check will be sent to the school.
SeQuential Biofuels has 3 locations: Two at 18th and Chambers Street, and one on 86714 McVay Hwy, out by LCC near I-5.
Yes, all SeQuential Biofuel locations have gas for regular cars. This is an easy way to receive a business donation for our school and support a community member at the same time! At the 18th & Chambers location’s North side fueling station, there is an espresso bar as well as yummy treats from Sweet Life and Humble Bagel available in their market.

Collect Box Tops for Education
Look for the pink Box Tops for Education coupons on food and household products, clip them and bring them into the school office. It’s a simple program, and we really see the earnings.
Our goal for this school year is $500.
Check your pantry — I bet you can find a few. Ask relatives and neighbors to save them for you as well. Drop off the Box Tops in the big blue barrel in the front office. Our kids thank you!

If you have a Target Red Card, you can link it to our school and Target will donate 1% of all your red card purchases to Charlemagne! It’s easy and quick to link your card. You can go to their website, search for “Fox Hollow French Immersion,” select our school, enter your name and card number and you’re done! You can also register your card easily at any Target store kiosk near the customer service area. After registering, you don’t have to do anything else other than use your red card when shopping at Target.
