Message from the PTSA Legislation Chair
To our Helix Families:
As you may be aware, the State of California still does not have a budget. As our legislators in Sacramento continue their debates, funding for education is at risk of being drastically cut. PTA continues, both at the local and state levels, to work to ensure there will be appropriate funding for our student’s education. Please click on the letter below from the President of the California State PTA for additional information.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES!
1. The District is starting a telephone bank in support ofproposition U, the Grossmont Union High School District facilities

making phone calls from the Campaign HQ at 8681 La Mesa Blvd. We need
a total of 15 volunteers starting this Thursday and each following
Thursday for the next 6 weeks. Your assistance in this matter is
extremely important as it will affect Helix directly...so please give
a few hours to help us with making the call! If you can help -- all
you need to do is show up at the above address and they'll put you to
work!
2. Football Home Games. We need volunteers in both the visitor and home
concession stands, as well as ticket booths. We had a nice turn out
last time, but let's make a better showing this time! Please
coordinate with John Gillihan at helixptsa@helixcharter.net if you can
help us!
3. Be a part of the after-football stadium clean up team
starting at 7:00 am after each home game. WE NEED YOUR HELP! The more people, parents and
students, we can get there...the fast the work will go. Your

goes directly to our students...so please come out and help!
