The Circus is Coming
Come one, come ALL!! With Mrs. Vanderschrier's assistance, our 7th and 8th grade students wil performa circus this year. There will be two shows on March 1st at 4:00 and 6:00. Tickets are $5 dollars or $20 for a family of 6. Parents may purchase tickets on ParentVue starting February 9th.
Volunteer Opportunity
On the day of the show, the 6th grade class has the opportunity to sell concessions. We have access to a cotton candy machine, a shaved ice machine and popcorn popper. The money we make will go into our class fund for the Washington D.C. trip. Email me if you would like to help out.

Auction Basket (I have 3 things so far!)
Baskets are due March 1st - Please send in any kitchen gadgets with your students
Each year the Birchtree community comes together to help our upcoming 8th grade class fundraise for thier trip to Washington D.C. This is an amazing trip and one that is important to our curriculum. Our community works hard to help the students fundraise enough so that each family only has to pay half the expense for this trip.
