Families,

I'm looking forward to meeting each of you at the Back to School/College night this Thursday. Should I miss you then, there will another opportunity at our first PTO meeting Tues. October 6. Be sure to attend both of these important events! We are an integral part of the CAT community, and the PTO is our vehicle to impact these short four years on our children's road to college and the future. I am excited about the possibilities and I know you are too.

Some of the ways we can be involved is to help financially in our day to day shopping, without spending an dime we wouldn't spend anyway. If you shop on line, sign up at ONE CAUSE, then go ONE CAUSE to enter the merchants' sites, and start your shopping. A percentage will go back to CAT. Also, every time you shop at Safeway, a portion of your purchase can be donated back to CAT by registering your Club Card at eScrip. It is easy to do. If you are already registered, make sure you update your information.

There are many fun and important roles for every member of this community, and look forward to this upcoming year being part of the excellence and commitment here at City Arts and Technology High School.
