YMCA ANNUAL CAMPAIGN
So far our class has raised the most money in the school!! We have one week left!!! Send in your change (or dollars)!!! I LOVE the YMCA. I have worked Summer Camp for 10 years. It was an amazing experience and I worked my way from Counselor to Site Director to Camp Coordinator. I am taking my first summer off to spend with Knox but my nieces and nephews have been attending for 3 years!
$$$
THEY LOVE IT!! They are still getting positive reinforcement in the form of verbal praise and they are self motivated!
CRES FEST
CRES FEST is approaching! CRES Fest is on Friday, April 22!!
CRES Fest is a family-friendly, community event that doubles as a fundraiser…a BIG one! CRES Fest proceeds account for about half of the PTO’s annual budget. The majority of money is raised through the silent auction, while food trucks and the Game Wing account for the rest.
Each class provides a silent auction basket. Our theme is BAKING!! If you are out and about and find some cool baking items, SEND THEM IN! :) We will collect all items in a basket to be auctioned off at CRES FEST!
