In place of our normal silent auction and pie auction, our classes will be putting together baskets of goodies as a schoolwide competition to see which class basket receives the highest online bid. The class with the highest bid on their basket will receive an ice cream party. We will be individually posting each class basket on our school Facebook page on Friday, March 26th for people to place their bids. Bidding is open until 10:00 am on Thursday, April 1st where the winner for each basket will be determined by the highest bid. Classes are asking parents for donations to fit their basket theme. See each class basket theme below:
Corise's Kindergarten - Family Baking Fun

Ashley's 3rd Grade - Game Night
