Carnival Basket - Message From Room Parents
Hello Tortorello Families,
Our class chose “Gift Cards” for the class carnival basket. We are asking for numerous and a variety of new gift cards in the amount of $10, $25, $50 or anything higher if you’d like. Please send your gift cards to school with your child to turn into Mrs. Tortorello. We ask that you put them in a sealed envelope with the amount written on the envelope to help us organize the basket in a magnificent and desirable way to get a lot of bids! Please turn the gift cards in by Friday, January 24. We greatly appreciate your generosity!
We’d like to have local special gift cards - please, no Target :) Some ideas….
