Dear Kiva Families,

On behalf of the Kiva PTO Board, we are pleased to extend a warm welcome to all new and returning families!

The Kiva PTO is a non-profit 501c3 organization created for the sole purpose of helping the school meet its goals in educating our children. Every family who has a child attending Kiva is a member of the PTO. Unlike other PTOs, there isn't a fee to become a member, but your voluntary contributions make a huge difference in what we can do for our children! Any amount is greatly appreciated.

Your PTO Organizes and supports various fundraisers throughout the year and we contribute the funds raised to the school to support our mission of improving our children's education. We would like to take this opportunity to share with you some of our accomplishments from last year:

Gifted over $90,000 to Kiva to support:
Accelerated Reader
Library Aide
General School Assistants
Lunchtime Intramural Assistants
Classroom supplies ($300 to each teacher to supplement budget set by SUSD)
Continued with student and family favorites such as Kiva Corner, Honors Luncheon, Hears & Hospitality, Picture Day, Pride Day, Pancake Breakfast, Yearbook, Community Recognition, Silent Auction, Family Fun Night, Carnival, Masterpiece Art and Art Walk
Kiva Blue continued to "Go Green" with over 500 families receiving Kiva Caller and other communications via email, reducing our paper usage by over 20,000 pieces of paper.
To continue this we are asking every family to enter their email address in the "Join Our Email List" at the top left corner of this web page. You will definitely want to "re-enroll" to reflect your classroom assignments for the new year.

These wonderful programs and activities would not be possible without your support. We encourage you to get involved with Kiva PTO. Volunteers are always needed and appreciated and all donations are tax deductible. your involvement in your child's education will provide a great way for you to become better acquainted with your school and other Kiva families.

Sincerely,

Jessica Glass & Laura Powers
2010-2011 Kiva PTO Co-Presidents
