Book Fair is This Week
Your little Pirates might want to score some treasure at the Scholastic Book Fair, taking place this week. This year, you can set up an eWallet for your student!
A safe alternative to cash, Book Fair eWallet is the best way to fund your student's wish list! eWallets can be used at the in-school fair or online to shop from over 5,000 products. Any unused funds can be spent at The Scholastic Store Online or to fund an eWallet for a future fair.
To get started, visit Pomona Elementary's Book Fair homepage at: https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/cptoolkit/homepage.do?method=homepage&url=pomonaelementary1

Volunteer this Holiday Season
It's the yo ho holidays, and we need your help, Pirate family. We've got two exciting volunteer opportunities that will be so meaningful to children and teachers alike.
The Holiday Store (December 1 and 2)
Students will have the opportunity to shop for their loved ones at the Holiday Store on December 1st or 2nd at Pomona Elementary. In order to make this possible for our little Pirates, we need Pirate Elves to help work the store. You'll work a short shift and partner with a PTO Board Member to help students make decisions to find exactly what they need.

The Gift of Time (December 6-14)
The December Teacher Appreciation event is the Gift of Time. We would like to give the teachers time to leave campus and go to lunch with each other - enjoy some good food and good company!
We need a volunteer to cover each teacher's class for an hour and 15 minutes. In most cases, volunteers will work the cafeteria for lunch and the playground for recess, but some lunch periods do not align, and, in those cases, volunteers may show a movie in the classroom.

Volunteer Requirements
Alvin ISD requires all volunteers to register and undergo a criminal history background check prior to volunteering. The process is free and takes less than five minutes to complete. If you haven’t already done so, visit this link to register as an Alvin ISD volunteer. Registration forms are available in both English and Spanish.
