Gala Donation Drive!!!
School Donation Drive - 100% Participation
We need your help. This year for the gala we are asking that each family contribute at least one item for the silent auction for the Gala. We are now accepting donations. Once the school gets 75% family participation the students will receive a treat at lunch. Once we reach 88% we will have the Kona Ice truck visit all the students for a Kona Ice. When we reach 100% participation the students (and teachers) will be awarded an afternoon off with Mr. Pope and Mrs. McGlynn hosting a movie matinee with fresh popped popcorn in the gym!!! Students can even bring sleeping bags if they want to! Progress for the Gala Donation Drive can be seen at the bulletin board outside the school office.
Donations will be accepted at the front office. If you have any questions about what to donate or need to contact someone from the Gala committee feel free to email gala@sfcshhi.com.
Ticket sales will begin soon. Keep an eye out for that information which will be communicated soon.
