You can help CRES PTA raise money so that they can put an Activboard in each classroom by requesting and using a scrips card. The card is free. Contact Lisa Garcia or Jennifer Farfsing at 689-2600 or e-mail them for a card. For every purchase made at Jamba Juice, Raley’s, Save Mart Supermarkets, and Scolari’s the school gets a percentage of the purchase. See the side menu or here for more information.
