Gift Card Drive Extended!

All the snow kept us from school, but hopefully it gave you a chance to round up those unused gift cards. We’ve extended the Gift Card Drive until Friday, March 1st, so grab those gift cards from home or pick one up from a favorite store and SEND THEM TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD!  Gift cards of any denomination are appreciated. Send them to school with your child or drop them off in the PTSA mailbox in the Main Office (place in an envelope and indicate your child’s teacher). The class that collects the most gift cards will win a DONUT DAY!

 
Auction Ticket Sales are Open - Buy Yours Today!

Auction invitations went home last week and now is your chance to buy your tickets. Purchase tickets {here} and enjoy all Auction festivities including appetizers, dinner, Silent and Live Auction, and of course our first-ever After Party with live music from Tasty Waves! Tickets are $85 each now and go up to $100 on March 10th so don’t delay.

 
Online Experience Auction Launching Sunday, March 3rd
 
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Our final online auction is launching Sunday, March 3rd! This is your chance to score those one-of-a-kind teacher experiences for your child and it’s your only opportunity to get front row seats to grade-level concerts and 5th grade promotion. And this year we’ll have a chance for you 4th and 5th grade parents to do something extra special for your kids before they graduate. You definitely don’t want to miss it.
