	Bathgate's Recycling Program	By collecting CRV bottles and cans Bathgate is on its way to raise $3,000 during this year to help student programs and activities!! We have already made over $2,000 and are now filling the container for the 3rd time, which we are hoping to complete by the end of the school year. The money raised is used to fund the Safety Program here at Bathgate. Empty and rinsed “California Redemption Value” aluminum cans and plastic bottles can be brought to school: Every Thursday between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. outside the school office OR Anytime during the week and leave them at your child’s classroom’s recycling bins provided by Waste Management. Please separate your clean cans and bottles before bringing them to school. Thanks for making a difference in our environment and our school!

	Character Counts	Bathgate encourages children to focus on good character, making smart choices, and developing core ethical values. Throughout the year, we focus on a specific trait and work with students to define and practice the character trait of the month, thus building a Community of Character. Teachers, staff and noon aides will reward these traits by distributing tickets that the students may submit in a weekly drawing for prizes. For ideas on how to reinforce character within your family, visit www.charactercounts.org.
	Volunteer Hours	"The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others." - Anonymous Our volunteers are the driving force of the PTA. This year our goal is to reach 10,000 hours. Please make sure you sign in at the Office so that we can track our success. Thank you for being a part of something bigger. Total Hours Reported (Year-to-Date): 4,040 hours!!!
