Raz Kids Reminder
Carnival Information from the PTA and Carnival Sign-Up
There are only 10 days until the GES Auction items are due on THURSDAY OCTOBER 5TH and we need your help! We are asking each family to contribute something for our themed baskets to make this the most successful auction yet! Collection boxes are now in your child's classroom. Just send them to school with their items to be placed in the box. (Please note, donations of wine/beer cannot be dropped off at the school. Please contact your coordinator to arrange for pick up).
Ways to contribute:
*Ask a local business for a donation (or send us the name and contact information of someone you have in mind and we are happy to do it!)
*Purchase item(s) from the basket list
*Make a Cash or Gift Card donation
As a reminder the 1st Grade Basket Themes are: Toys for Boys, Star Wars, Sugar & Spice, Blooming Artist, and Movie Night!
There are still plenty of open spots to sign up on this link: Auction Sign Up
The grade with the most successful baskets at auction will win a Pajama Day from Mrs. Hilcher! Let's help our kiddos win the competition! If you have any questions, please contact our Auction Coordinator: shellee.djr@gmail.com
