A+ for Parents on Back-to-School Night
 
Thank you to all the families who came to Back-to-School Night!
 
It was great to see so many new and familiar faces. The HSA looks forward to spending time with the SRLA community. Please remember to do your part and volunteer for one of our events!
 
Looking to volunteer but stuck at your desk?
 
We are looking for an organized parent to learn the admin side of Christmas Giving! There is a bit of data entry, mail merge, and labels involved! It is a wonderful way to volunteer at SRLA without having to leave your home. This counts as your volunteer duty for the year! If you're interested in finding out more details, please email Betsy Guarnieri at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
 
Gear Up for the Food Truck Festival
Join us on Friday, October 13 from 7-10pm in the SRLA parking lot for the annual Fall Food Truck Festival! Grab some tasty eats from our fabulous food trucks, toast the new school year while listening to great LIVE MUSIC, and top it off with a sweet treat from our dessert truck. This is an adults-only event, so book your sitters!
 
The ticket price of $70 per person includes a souvenir cup, and there are a limited number of SRLA pint glasses and wine glasses available for pre-order.
 
Beer and wine are available, but feel free to bring your beverage of choice. And don’t forget to bring cash for the annual cornhole tournament and 50/50 raffle!
Be a Sponsor!
Support our fundraising efforts and become a Blue Sponsor at $50, a Gold Sponsor at $100, or a Raven at $200! Please make your contribution by Wednesday, October 11 if you wish to be recognized for your sponsorship at the Festival.
Volunteer!
Please sign up for a shift to help out before, during or after the event. We need people at check-in, to bartend, and to help with set-up and clean-up.

Keep Those Walk-A-Thon Pledges Coming!
