Support the Curley with Amazon Smile
Do you shop on Amazon? If so, did you know that you can give back to the Curley K-8 with your shopping? Amazon Smile is an easy way to give money to the Curley via the Student Parent Council (SPC) (no fees, no extra charges—nada).
If you shop amazon.com just change to amazonsmile.com, choose the charity “The Friends of the Curley K-8 School”, and that is it. Amazon will donate a percentage of your purchase to the Curley.
The funds raised by the SPC can be used to support many of the initiatives and resources we currently use in or classroom or those we wish to deploy in the future. Please note that the SPC is not able to see the items that you purchase on Amazon; they are only able to see the dollar amount donated.
Curley Auditorium Campaign Update
We’re pleased to report that work will begin shortly on the improvements planned for the Curley Auditorium. See the attached flyer (in English and Spanish) for all the juicy details.
And heartfelt thanks to the entire Curley community for your support of this project!
