PTA Fall Festival "Boo Bash"
Boo Bash is coming! Saturday, October 21st is Glenhope's annual Boo Bash and Silent Auction. There are lots of terrific activities planned for the day, including a petting zoo, face painting and bounce houses. Students, siblings and adults will find lots to do!
However, in order for this to be a success, we have to have lots of parent volunteers. Please consider volunteering for some portion of the afternoon. Some of you have difficulty volunteering at other times because of commitments, so this could be a good opportunity to help at Glenhope. Here's the link to volunteer:http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0c48afa828a7fa7-parentadult
Materials Needed
1. playdough
2. clay
3. popsicle sticks (large and small)
4. toothpicks
5. foam boards
If you'd like to donate any of these materials, we would greatly appreciate it!
