WHAT IF THERE WAS NO ART, COMPUTER, P.E., OR SCIENCE?
Has your child spent time in the Computer Lab? Perhaps participated in an Art or P.E. class? Attended Science Lab? Or was helped by the teaching assistant in their class? These programs are FULLY supported by the Warner Annual Fund. Without your contributions we would not have these classes.
Currently, we are at 51% contribution school-wide, but anything short of 100% participation could result in program reduction or cuts in 2017-2018. All donations are voluntary however, since the Warner Annual Fund benefits all Warner students, WAVE encourages all families to give (either at the suggested amount or an amount that is meaningful to you).
Thank you so much to all the families that have already made their contribution! If you have any questions, please contact Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com

Warner to Collect New Donations for Los Angeles Foster Children
It’s almost Valentine’s Day so this year let’s wrap our arms and hearts around the children in our community who need it the most! Many children enter foster care with nothing but the clothes on their backs or with the few personal belongings they can quickly fit into a plastic trash bag. This year, Warner Avenue will collect NEW essentials and comfort items for boys and girls (ages 2T-12) entering foster care:
* Grades K-1: NEW Small Stuffed Animals (smaller than a sheet of paper)
* Grades 2-3: NEW Pajamas (with legs–no nightgowns)
* Grades 4-5: NEW Sweatshirts (no school, camp, team or religious graphics)
If you would like to donate but don’t have time to shop, monetary donations are welcome online at www.hopeinasuitcase.org Please specify “Warner Avenue” when you submit your donation. A confirmation letter for tax purposes will be sent for all monetary donations.
Please place donations in boxes in the main hallway near the office.

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!
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”.
