Wear Pink for Patty
Patty is currently fighting stage 4 breast cancer and is the Mom of Raven (7th grade basketball and middle school cross country), Valentino and Adrian (9th and 12th grades and both on varsity cross country team).
The team will wear "pink" socks and t-shirts Tuesday at the GAC meet. Our Cross Country "family" would like to put together a bake sale table at the meet on the 17th. We would love it if you would be willing to donate treat items. If you would be kind enough to pre-package - maybe 2 or 3 cookies or treats in a bag - it would be much appreciated. If you are sending desserts to school with your children, then they can be dropped off to Mrs. Davis (she is storing them in the science lab). If you are bringing them to the meet, we will be collecting them in Mr. Dobson's room (34B) as soon as you get there. We will be placing a donation only dessert table near the entrance of the awards for the Cross Country teams. All proceeds will go toward a special gift for the Paris family from their Byron family. All attendees will be encouraged to "Wear Pink for Patty".
