SpringAuction Solicitations & Donations
Parents, start your donation outreach now! Ask your friends, relatives, favorite shops and restaurants for item donations using the donation solicitation form/letter. CLICK HERE for the form.
We ask every Warner family to donate at least one meaningful item! C’mon, asking is easy — do your part and start soliciting those restaurant gift certificates, hotel stays, wine, spa services, boutique certificates, concert tickets, etc.!
Please join us for a New Year’s Resolution to get in shape. On Sat 1/28 at 11am we will be working out in solidarity at ElliptiFut with Warner moms and dads. You will also receive a

Need a New Year’s Resolution? How About You Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money??? : )
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you! Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far. Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint). All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity. The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now. And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing!
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
We have earned $2000 this year but have the potential to earn MUCH more!
Add the Warner Avenue HOME PAGE to your phone and use it! Once you click the Amazon logo from the warner website, it will take you directly to your Amazon app or account. See pictures below on how to set this up.
Click through the Warner website EVERY time you shop on Amazon! Warner receives up to 10% for every dollar spent. You must go through the Amazon link on our website (https://fundraising.warnerschool.org/) BEFORE you put anything in the cart.
It doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon through Warner and doesn’t affect your Prime account. Your purchases are completely anonymous!
Interested in being a Wildcat Sponsor?
Wildcat Sponsors automatically become sponsors of the Spring Auction and Warner Walk. Your name will appear in the courtyard as a sponsor before those events. You will also receive admission for two to the Spring Auction and your child will have a Warner Walk T-shirt and goodies delivered to their classroom.
Did you already contribute and now want to become a Wildcat Sponsor? It’s not too late. Please email Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com for details.
Thank you for your continued support of our children!

From now on, every Wednesday is WARNER WEAR WEDNESDAY! Warner students (and their parents) are encouraged to wear any Warner shirt (vintage or new). That could be their field trip shirt, Haunt shirt, Warner Walk shirts or one of the cool Warner Wear shirts available at the Warner Wear Store.
*No purchase necessary, but if you do want to buy new gear, we have a wide range of t’s and sweatshirts for adults and kids at the Warner store, open Mondays at assembly and Fridays at dismissal. We’re proud of our school and proud of our students; Warner Wear Wednesdays!
Free Zone Volunteers
Calling all parents of grades 1-5!
Come and tap into your inner-Picasso, as a volunteer at the Art/Free Zone tables, while enjoying the lovely children of Warner Avenue. Enjoy an afternoon playing board games, directing an art activity, or just simply creating through writing, art and conversation. Your role can be as simple as a supervisor, or as demanding as a facilitator of your own project.
For further instruction, or questions, please contact either Paula Lewis at paulafmlewis@gmail.com or Sherry Lavian at sklavian@yahoo.com. We are happy to get you started with your first shift.
Please note, if you plan a project, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. The children are only at the tables for 15 mins max.
Please click on the link below to view the online sign up sheet for “Free Zone Grades 1-2”.
Any parent or business interested in corporate sponsorship (advertising in the roster, banners at school corners, this newsletter) please contact Tracy Austin at tsue73@yahoo.com.
It’s a tax-deductible contribution to Warner AND a great way to advertise your business to all the parents and the entire neighborhood.
