Need a Mask?

I was at Parkway Place Mall and found tons of great masks at Earth Bound Trading Company. It is located upstairs between Build -A- Bear and Abercrombie and Fitch. They range in price anywhere from $9.95 and up. So if you still need a mask you might want to check them out.

Awesome News!

I am very pleased to announce that Erin Dacy from Channel 31 has graciously accepted to emcee our silent auction . I know she will do a great job and I look forward to working with her.

The Grande Raffle is your chance to win $7,000!  Only 200 Grande Raffle tickets will be sold.  Each raffle ticket costs $100.  At the end of the evening one ticket holder wins the $7,000 GRAND PRIZE!  There will also be 2 – $1,000 winners and 2 – $500 winners!!  You need not be present to win.  So, if you are unable to attend the Auction, be sure to still get your Grande Raffle Ticket and have a chance at $7,000!

How can you help?  There are several ways.  We hope you can do all three !!!!!

Donate new items for the auction. It could be something you buy, or something you have received as a gift that you don’t need. Be selective and try to find quality items that will help raise money. You can make a basket consisting of several items or send individual items that we may group with other items to make a basket. You will receive recognition for your donations in the Silent Auction Program and a receipt. All donations are 100% tax deductible. Please attach the form on the back of this flyer to your donation and bring it to the school office. Please fill it out completely with your donor information and with your donation description. It is very important that you list a value for each item. We need the value for your receipt and for the program. If you need ideas for donations, please see the list below.

Classroom Baskets. Each classroom will make a basket and may need additional items that you can supply. Let your child’s teacher know that you are willing to help out.

Baked Goods Booth. There will be a booth at the auction for baked goods. These will be turned in at the school on Friday, March 5. All children participating will have a no uniform day.

If you have any questions please call SUZY SCHRADER Donations Chairman  at 508-6332

Find a marvelous mask and wear it well so your true identity no one can tell !

With our new venue for the event came a new theme. We are all so excited about all the new changes.Don’t assume that the “Ball” in the new title means that you have to go out and buy an expensive evening gown, unless you want to be the exception. Most of us will be spicing up the usual attire we would associate with going to a nice dinner out or to church with an awesome mask. Besides, we would rather everyone save their money for the auction!

Another small change will be the agenda. We intend to finish the auction and start the dancing and entertainment around 9:30. We hope that this will allow everyone to enjoy a couple more hours of festivities if you can get a sitter that will stay late. If you have to avoid turning into a pumpkin and need to get home early, you will still have had the opportunity to participate in the evening’s auction and grande raffle!

We hope that you are as excited as we are about this year’s event. Mark your calenders for March 6th and we will see you there, unless your mask disguises your identity too well!
