Help EC win the Tanforan competition

Tanforan update

We have dropped to 6th place. Buri Buri has just edged us by 7 points. Unfortunately, no one appears to be supporting the school in recent weeks. So here's the easiest thing anyone and everyone can do.

#1 This Saturday, April 12, Tanforan will be promoting a "Go Green" event. Any person who goes to the mall and signs a form to support El Camino between the hours of 1-4 pm (at a table expected to be near JCPenny's) will earn the school 100 points per person. So, bring your family, friends, co-workers to the mall and have them sign-in on behalf of El Camino. Of all the schools competing, we are the largest in population. No elementary school should be able to get more than us. If we can get at least half the school to show up and bring someone with them, we can close much of the gap between 6th and 3rd place--which puts us into the money prizes.

#2 Wednesday, April 16, a special preview night will be happening to promote the opening of the new movie theater, which officially opens on April 18.
On this preview night, the theaters will be playing select movies (I don't know which ones, but they are supposed to be family friendly for most audiences are elementary school students). The only people allowed to attend are students, parents, and staffs of all the schools competing for the prize. The tickets are FREE; however, in order to get a ticket you have to go to the information desk at the mall. The number of tickets available are on a first come, first serve basis. Each person may receive up to two tickets. As a special bonus, soda and popcorn will be sold for only $1. And those receipts will count for double points. New lockers to collect receipts will be placed by the theater lobby. Please encourage all your students to watch their movies there instead of the Daly City theater or anywhere else--at least until the end of May.

I can imagine our school collecting points fast, since so many of our students go to the movies. I envision El Camino coming in 1st place. Please emphasize to your students that it is not too late for us to win. So many of our students think the competition ended already, but that is just not the case.

Thank you! Keep depositing your receipts.
