Happy Monday! Today's email is regarding the Halloween Fair Jar Raffle and Cupcake Walk Donations.
****
[**Update: Halloween Fair Jar Raffle Donations & $1 Sales**]
The raffle table is set up! A HUGE thank you to everyone who brought jars so far.
The youth have been eyeing them and running away with so much giddiness.
Parents/Guardians we are still seeking jar donations for the Jar raffle!
Update:
- Raffle tickets being sold only from 820-840am through Thursday at school, and then at the Fair until 6:15pm.
- Jar donations are welcomed until Thursday night around 6:15 when sales stop and they will be raffled away.
We are asking for parents/guardians to fill jars of any size with toys, crafts, bubbles, stickers etc.
The purpose is to recycle old toys that our kids don’t use anymore. Often/usually parents fill jars with candy, but we encourage upcycled toys and bits/bobs.
Jars will be on display at the school starting Monday, Oct 23 (see photo).
There will be a table near the office to receive all of the jar donations.
Jars are raffled off at the Halloween event. When someone's name is called, they can pick a jar of their choice at the Halloween Fair.
[Jar raffle ~ How to purchase tickets]
Tickets will be sold Monday Oct 23 - Thursday Oct 26 at school and the night of the event, with draw at the Halloween Fair event.
Tickets will be sold by Kaylee for $1 each all week.
The office will usually raffle off a few on the days leading up to the event.
Thank you for participating and bringing smiles to the kiddos already... and they haven't even been raffled off yet!
*New* [Halloween Fair ~ Cupcake Walk Donations Needed!]
With so much happening, we forgot to remind parents/guardians to donate for the Cupcake Walk! Oops!
- What it is: The Cupcake walk is like musical chairs. Music plays and when it stops you have to step on a laminated pumpkin paper. One paper is removed each time and the person who doesn’t step on one is eliminated . The last kiddo standing (the winer) gets to pick a cupcake.
- What we need: We are asking parents to donate cupcakes, either purchased or made.
- When will we receive the cupcakes: Please drop off cupcake donations Thursday at the school.
Thank you again!
