As we begin preparing for this year’s ONEderland Christmas Initiative, we want to extend a special invitation to our BCSD family to be a part of this meaningful effort. Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, we’ve been able to make a lasting impact in our community—and we’re excited to continue that tradition again this year.

We would be honored if you would consider sponsoring a child (or children) this holiday season by helping fulfill their holiday wishes through unwrapped gifts, clothing, and gift cards.

In addition to sponsorships, the Division of Student Support Services is also seeking volunteers to assist with sorting and wrapping donated items on a designated day. Whether you’re able to spare a few hours or an entire day, your support would make a positive difference.

If you are interested in participating this year, please let the Division of Student Support Services know by November 10, 2025, by completing the form linked below. They’ll follow up with all the necessary information and next steps.

Berkeley ONEderland Sponsor Form:

Hello Nexton Elementary Families!

The PTA is excited to announce our school-wide Buddy-a-Thon Fundraiser happening this October! Students can earn fun prizes—including an adorable 8-inch OR 16-inch “buddy” of their choice. (Pictures attached!)

Fundraiser Dates: October 1 – October 22

How it works:
1. Register your Explorer here! You’ll get to choose your favorite “buddy” (with over 20 options!) and even pick out outfits for them.

2. Add 10 email contacts and send 10 automatic messages to friends and family. (Directions attached.)
That’s it! Students will earn small prizes just for sending the emails—even if no donations come in.

What to know:
• Our kick-off assembly for students is on Wednesday, October 1. Students will bring home a flyer that day with ALL the details you need to know!
• Buddies include heart inserts and birth certificates. If you raise enough funds, you can even potentially earn fun outfits and accessories for your buddy, too!
• Buddies will be delivered on November 7. The fundraiser will wrap up with a Bring a Stuffed Animal & Movie Day at school on November 21.
• The class in each grade level with the most donations wins its own buddy!
• The class with the highest donations in the school wins a pizza party!
• Questions during the fundraiser? Email us at ptanexton@gmail.com. Follow the PTA on Facebook to stay updated!

Thank you for supporting the Nexton Elementary PTA—we can’t wait to see which buddy your Explorer chooses!

Please send in a hand-written note with your student. If you were planning to make any changes for students to ride the bus on Friday, the Bus Transportation office requires 72 business hours for any new requests and/or any changes to the bus stop drop off location.
