Classroom Basket Donations Needed!
Mardi Gras Auction - March 2, 2019
Dear Families,
Preparations for this year's Live/Silent Auction are underway. Every year, each class is asked to donate items for a particular theme. The Auction Committee will assemble these items into gift baskets which will be up for bid at the auction. In the past, these class baskets have been highly sought after at bidding time.
This year, instead of having each individual class collect for a basket, we will have 4 groups of grade levels collecting for these baskets. The grades and themes, as well as some item ideas are as follows:
- Pre-K: Family Sundae Kit- cones, sprinkles, bowls, spoons, hot fudge topping, caramel topping, Heath bar bits, chocolate morsels, maraschino cherries, sundae glasses, marshmallow topping, Newport Creamery gift card, waffle cone bowls
- Grades K-2: Family Game Night- playing cards, Uno or other card games, classic board games like Life, Monopoly, Trouble, Clue, Checkers, Candyland, Chutes and Ladders and Battleship, modern family games like Apples to Apples, Scattergories, Head's Up, Balderdash
- Grades 3-5: In the Kitchen- pans, crock pot, dish towels, pot holders, knives, mini appliances, k-cups, coffee maker, mugs, plates, napkins, salt and pepper shakers, spices, canister set, bakeware, gift cards for Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pier One, or Amazon
- Grades 6-8: Bar Basket- wine, beer, hard liquor, shot glasses, wine glasses, margarita glasses, non-alcoholic drink mixers (margarita, daiquiri, mudslide), wine stem charms, wine bottle carriers, ice bucket, wine opener, wine stoppers (cork replacements)
We are asking that all items be delivered to the classroom teacher OR placed inside of the bin marked ‘AUCTION BASKET DONATIONS', located near the front office, no later than January 31st. When donating items, please be sure to mark the item with the child’s grade, as this is necessary to keep the items sorted properly. Please remember that all items must be NEW!
Should you have any questions, please feel free to email me at ladylin1016@gmail.com.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
