The CMS PTA has arranged an EXCLUSIVE deal with the Livermore Cinemas!  During the entire school year, you have the opportunity to purchase DISCOUNTED movie tickets for only $7.50 each--that’s $2.50 off the general admission price for those 13 years or older.  This is not a fundraiser--we are passing all the savings on to you. 

Beginning next week, orders will be collected from the office at noon on Thursday and tickets will be delivered to the school office and available for will-call starting at 12:30 p.m. on Friday.  The ticket order form can be found in the school office or click on the link. 

Please note that discount tickets must be purchased in advance—the flyer is not good at the box office.  Any questions??—Contact Ian Murphy at IMurphy@SBCGlobal.Net 

The Alameda County Public Health Department is providing no-cost H1N1 vaccinations to uninsured residents who are at highest risk of complications from exposure to the H1N1 virus.  Additional information is available on the Alameda County Public Health Department H1N1 Vaccination Clinic Schedule.

Ms. Brenda Miller, Superintendent of Livermore Schools, distributed a letter regarding the H1N1 flu in English and Spanish.  We are committed to doing all we can to prepare and protect our community as flu season approaches.

For more information on the H1N1 flu, please read Alameda County Public Health Department's document "H1N1 (Swine) Flu: What parents need to know and do" and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) brochure "Seasonal and Novel H1N1 Flu: A Guide for Parents".
