8th Grade Musical
Come one, Come all to Stone Bank School's annual 8th Grade Musical Disney's Alice in Wonderland Jr.

Our dress rehearsal will be performed for the school on Tuesday, November 3rd at 12:45pm, while our two ticketed evening performances will be Wednesday, November 4th and Thursday, November 5th at 7:00pm. Tickets may be purchased at the door. For information about advanced tickets, please contact Mr. Ktorides at n.ktorides@stonebank.k12.wi.us.

Chicken Dinner
Come join your Stone Bank friends for a fun evening at the PTO Chicken Dinner and Auction on Saturday, November 7th! There will be plenty of food and drinks, Marc Tarkowski as our entertaining auctioneer, and many opportunities to show your support at all levels of giving, from buying a square on the chicken-drop board to making bids on a large selection of silent auction items. A preview of the auction items will be on display during parent-teacher conferences (Oct. 21st & Oct. 22nd) and the 8th grade play (Nov. 4th & Nov. 5th).
We are excited to host this event at Olympia Resort again this year! A DJ will be playing in the hotel bar after the event wraps up, and a block of rooms has been set aside at a special rate of $89. To reserve your room, please call Olympia (262-369-4999) and tell them you are with the Stone Bank Fundraiser group.
Volunteers/Bakers Needed
Do you have a special family dessert recipe that everyone loves or a dessert that gets rave reviews? We are still in need of volunteers to make/donate a dessert item for the live auction. The more distinctive the dessert, the higher the bidding will go! Items can be made even more unique by including a special dish or basket. If you would like to volunteer your talent, please contact Jessica Henschel at jhench@wi.rr.com.
If you have any questions regarding the Chicken Dinner and Auction or did not receive your invitation in the mail, please contact Maria Draeger (maria71@ameritech.net).
