Question of the Week :
Auction: Important Update
This it the last week to turn in GES Auction items. All items are due on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5TH. We need your help! We are asking each family to contribute something for our themed baskets to make this the most successful auction yet! Collection boxes are now in your child's classroom. Just send them to school with their items to be placed in the box. (Please note, donations of wine/beer cannot be dropped off at the school. Please contact your coordinator to arrange for pick up). We will be at the school collecting all donations Thursday, October 5th at 1:00 pm.
As a reminder the 2nd Grade Basket Themes are:
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Family Fun Day
Road Trip
Deck the Halls
Chocolate Lovers
Proud to be an American
Ahoy Matey!
We ask that you please use the sign up to let us know what you'll be contributing so that we can plan accordingly. There are still plenty of open spots to sign up here: Auction Sign Up
The grade with the most successful baskets at auction will win a Pajama Day from Mrs. Hilcher! Let's help our kiddos win the competition! If you have any questions, please contact our Auction Coordinators: courtneyhedgepeth@hotmail.com OR ouheididoty@yahoo.com
