Thanks for the grub, we couldn't have done it without you!
Thank you to all the families that donated their time, organization skills, and food to all the staff at SVMS. We absolutely could not have fed over 90 staff without your help. You are the best!
A huge thanks go out to Christy Watson for organizing two days worth of meals. Let her know how great she was if you see her!
Want to get SVMS staff a holiday gift, but don't know what to get? Have we got the idea for you!
This will be the second time that we will be supporting families in providing a staff meal over the holidays. The menu will be dependent on the amount of donations received. We have over 90 staff to support. We will also provide a sign up genius for desserts to be donated as well.
We will begin taking donations for the staff holiday meal November 5th and will continue to accept them through December 16th. We will be accepting both digital and cash donations. See our square site at https://squareup.com/store/svms-ptsa or send a sealed envelope in to the SVMS PTSA if you would rather send cash or check.
We are asking for some homemade desserts that day as well, see the sign up here to sign up for desserts! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f4daaa92aabfd0-december
Thank you for helping us support our SVMS staff through the holidays!
