The holiday season is upon us! This month we are focusing on giving back to our community with our annual CASA toy drive to help spread some holiday cheer. 2022 has been a fantastic year and let's end it on a high note with the Eastbluff Holiday Concert! We hope everyone has a wonderful winter vacation and we'll see you in 2023!

CASA Toy Drive Dec. 5th-16th

Eastbluff PTA's Community Service Committee is excited to offer our students and families a way to give back to our community this Holiday Season. We are partnering with CASA of Orange County to help provide toys for children in Foster Care. While shopping for gifts for your own family, please consider picking up a toy for a child in need. Bring a new, unwrapped toy or gift card at morning drop off or afternoon pickup to the CASA collection table in front of the school office.

See flyer for details and a list of most desired toys. $25 Amazon Gift cards are also appreciated.

Please also sign up to help man the toy table or drive the toys to the Orange County Courthouse on Friday Dec. 16th after the Holiday Concert. Sign up here: CASA Toy Drive Signup

Join Our PTA Board!

Eastbluff's PTA is looking for volunteers to be a part of the 2023-2024 PTA Executive Board! Being a part of the board or a committee is a great way to get more involved with the school, and to have a voice in your child's education. There are different positions with varying time commitments. We would love to see new faces and to get some fresh ideas for the coming year.
