6 2017 Fall Fiesta Class Baskets Dear Parents, This year for Fall Fiesta our goal is to raise a LOT OF MONEY for our school. One way we plan to meet this goal is by raffling class baskets that contain engaging activities and books. Fall Fiesta will be held on Friday, September 15, This is our main fundraising event of the year. ALL proceeds go to serve our amazing scholars. Each class basket has a theme that is focused around a particular book. We are asking parents to donate items that will contribute to each classroom s specific theme (a list of possible items to donate for each classroom is provided). You may donate to ANY class basket, but we hope you will donate to one of your child s grade level baskets. Also, if you would like to donate an item that is rather expensive (gift cards, costumes, football jersey, game tickets, etc.) please feel free to collaborate with several parents to purchase the item. The FRONT OFFICE will accept donated items. When you donate items, please indicate to WHICH BASKET you are donating so we can keep track of items. Donations will be accepted from TODAY until the end of school on May 26. Rather than collecting items at the beginning of the school year we hope to collect most basket items now. Baskets will be on display at school (and on the website) during the first week of school, and pesos to purchase the baskets, will go on sale the week of August 28 th.
