Basket Raffle Collection
We need your help with the Greene Carnival Basket Raffle Collection! The Basket Raffle has always been a popular feature of the Greene Carnival. We hope to assemble 20-25 baskets with the chosen themes below. All items in each basket will depend solely on your generous donations. Please consider helping by sending in cash, check (payable to Greene PTO), or suggested items related to the theme for your child’s wing - the table below shows the chosen themes for each wing. Remember that cash or a check ($5– $10) is always welcome; we will be happy to do the shopping! Homeroom teachers will be collecting the cash/check/item donations over the next two weeks.
Please have all donations to school by January 27th so we have enough time to shop and assemble the baskets. Thank you for your generosity! Questions? Please contact Jill Franke at jill.franke@novartis.com or Jane Sullivan at jane@webstrategyplus.com.

A memory book for Sarah Sheblessy
Shhhhhhhhhh................... ..............
Past students and parents of Mrs. Sarah Sheblessy (second grade teacher at Blue Ash Elementary), can you believe Mrs. Sheblessy will be retiring at the end of this school year?
We would love your help in giving her a final present of writing a thank you note for being a wonderful teacher and mentor. We are also requesting photo submissions of you with Mrs. Sheblessy during your teaching/learning experience with her.
Please turn in your notes and/or pictures in one of the following ways. A) Turn in to the main office at your school by Friday, March 10th. B) Email your letter and/or digital or scanned picture to Michelle Shade (email below) by Friday, March 10th. This will give us enough time to assemble a nice book for Mrs. Sheblessy. Remember, this is a SURPRISE!
Thank you for your help.
