Hello Parents,

I want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our SchoolStore program! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed.

If your family has not participated, there's still time!

This safe and easy program is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.

Please help now. It really will make a difference.

Go to https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000020444 to show our valued teachers your support.

Thanks
Brooklyn Park Elementary School

P.S. Family participation is the key to our success, and we are counting on you!

Hola padres,

Quiero agradecer personalmente a todas las familias que ya han participado en nuestro programa SchoolStore. Estamos en camino de alcanzar nuestra meta, pero necesitamos la ayuda de todos para asegurarnos de que nuestros maestros obtengan las herramientas esenciales que necesitan para ayudar a nuestros estudiantes a tener éxito.

Si su familia no ha participado, ¡aún hay tiempo!

Este programa seguro y sencillo es 100 % en línea, por lo que no hay ventas, recolección de dinero ni entrega de productos presenciales. Su hijo recibirá un premio solo por participar y se otorgarán más premios cuando se alcancen las metas.

Por favor, ayúdenos ahora. Realmente marcará la diferencia.

Visite https://www.schoolstore.net/sid.t?0000020444 para mostrar su apoyo a nuestros valiosos maestros.

Gracias.

Escuela Primaria Brooklyn Park

P. D.: La participación familiar es clave para nuestro éxito, ¡y contamos con ustedes!
