Dear Parents,
It is almost time for our annual Fundraising Auction, which will be held this Saturday, March 14th in the FCS gym. If you haven’t thought about going, please do! It is so much fun, and such a great time of community for our school! Tickets are available in the Central Office. Each year the classrooms contribute some sort of project or themed basket to the auction. This is an item that will be auctioned off. Our class will be making a basket with a BBQ theme.
Any and all donations are appreciated! Your child will get credit for any donation you bring. We will need all items to be delivered by Wednesday 3/11 at 10:00 am so we can get the baskets assembled. If you have any questions, please contact room mom Amy Brooks, Dawn Thompson, or Mr. Miranda.
