URGENT NEED!!! Thursday, October 23rd: Fall Festival - 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Cafetorium. The 5th and 6th Grades will be responsible for the "Country Store". We will need parents to work at our "Country Store" in 30 minute intervals: 6:00 to 6:30, 6:30 to 7:00, 7:00 to 7:30, 7:30 to 8:00. We will need 4 parents for each interval, one from each homeroom. We will also need you to provide items for sale in the "Country Store": arts and crafts, baked goods, novelties. etc. Please mark your items with a "sale price". Your help will be critical to making this success. BECAUSE THIS IS EVENT IS THIS THURSDAY, I REALLY NEED TO FINALIZE WHO IS WORKING AND WHAT ITEMS ARE BEING BROUGHT FOR THE COUNTRY STORE, PLEASE GET THIS INFOMATION TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

 

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

 

PTO Fundraiser - Spirit Cards - On Sale for $15 - The homeroom that has the most sales will be awarded a Pizza Party. Please support this important fundraiser.
