ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for your outstanding response and generous help for our Fall Festival. Thanks to your efforts we had an outstanding event.
CHOCOLATE BAR FUNDRAISER: I would first like to say thank you to all of those who have committed to selling a case of chocolate bars. However, this fundraiser has fallen short of our goal. So to encourage more participation, the 5th and 6th grade classes have decided to "take orders". Each homeroom will order the additional cases. If you would be willing to sell some individual $1 candy bars, or buy some for your family, PLEASE let me know how many and which kind. I need to know as soon as possible so that I can get them ordered. You can email me at bsanders@pikelib.com or send a note with your child. Thanks for all you do!
Available types are:
chocolate with almonds
caramel
crisp
solid milk chocolate
dark chocolate
