Fall Fun and Fundraising
As we move further into autumn, please see more details in today's newsletter about some fall activities - and fall fundraisers.
There are still tickets available to this week's two Linvilla Hayrides on Wednesday and Thursday. Check out the info below to participate - or to find out more about our Halloween-themed baking and pumpkin-carving contests happening this year.
As for fundraisers, we have our annual Jumbo Jackpot kicking off very soon, and our Charleston Wrap Fundraiser is already underway to help with early holiday shopping. And don't forget our Winter Ball in December! We are looking for volunteers, award nominees, and sponsors.
As always, feel free to reach out to the HSA via email at hsa@holyfamilyaston.org with any questions or other feedback.
Have a good week!
Hayrides at Linvilla
The first is this Wednesday, October 21, at 7:45pm (with line-up starting at 7:15pm). For this one, we would like to encourage our older students and their families to participate.
For the second hayride, on Thursday, October 22, at 6:30pm, we would like to gear this to our younger Holy Family students and their families. Line-up for that one will start at 6pm.
Tickets for both hayrides are $10 per person, with a 30 person maximum per ride. As we said, get your tickets fast! They are available in the "Purchase Additional Items" section of the Smart Tuition site. Hope you can join us!
Halloween Activities
As the fall's cooler weather starts to settle in and we begin to get ready for the holiday season, we would normally all be planning and looking forward to Holy Family's annual Trunk or Treat. Unfortunately, with many COVID restrictions still in place, we can't hold this event this year. Instead, we are bringing you two creative Halloween-themed alternatives!
Start brainstorming and getting your ideas together for our Virtual Halloween Bake-Off and our Virtual Great Pumpkin Carve!! They will both be up and running starting tomorrow, Monday, October 19th, through Wednesday, October 28th.
For more details, check out these flyers (Bake-Off and Pumpkin Carve). Entries will be judged by a panel of Holy Family judges (including Mr. Hughes and Mrs. Troxel!) and considered for prizes. Winners will be announced on October 30th on the school's Facebook page.
Note: There will be a $2 donation to the school for each entry in these contests. Participants can get involved in one or both competitions, and can also have multiple entries.
We hope you will join our school community in one or both of these festive fall activities!
It's That Time Again...Jumbo Jackpot Is Just Around the Corner!
Help us earn money to support Holy Family while also giving you and your family the chance to win some big bucks! (FYI: Almost $2000 was awarded to last year's 1st place winner!)
Charleston Wrap Fundraiser
The Charleston Wrap mixed bag fundraiser is underway! Get a jump on Christmas shopping via this sale, running now through October 30th. Ordering in this period will provide guaranteed delivery in time for the holidays and will enable our families to take advantage of limited quantities.
For more information and instructions on how to register for the fundraiser (to ensure all purchases are linked to our school), please see this flyer.
Note: All orders are online and will be shipped directly to your home.
We appreciate all of your support and encourage you to spread the word to your friends and family, near and far! The more people who shop, the more money we can raise for Holy Family!
If you have any questions, please email HSA at hsa@holyfamilyaston.org.
