Got Textbook Donations?

Now that the kids are back in school, it’s a great time to clear out last year’s clutter of old textbooks that are no longer needed. Tesoro PTSA is accepting Used Textbooks.  Donations can be left at the Library. The donated books are made available to students who are interested in an extra set.  All funds raised through this program are used to purchase new books for the library inventory, for all students to enjoy, for many years.  Help us keep the Library up to date with the latest, most in demand book titles to promote reading! This program is the primary source for funding for our library.

Store Grocery Cards are an easy way for our school community to financially support our students and it is SO easy! Whether you shop at Ralphs or Pavillons, you can help our students each time you visit the store – even if it is just to run in and get a gall on of milk! Here is how:

Ralphs: Register your Ralph’s grocery card every school year to get their corporate donations to Tesoro’s PTSA.   Even if you registered your card before, you must renew your registration every year now through Ralph’s website. Go to www.ralphs.com and update/edit your Community Rewards information to select Tesoro High School to designate contributions. Ralphs Community Program: Use group ID number is 81486.
