BINGO BASKET THEMES! Mrs. Bekx OUTDOOR ADVENTURE Mrs. Christensen GET CRAFTY Ms. Cox ICE CREAM SOCIAL DEAR PARENTS, Each year, at the PTO s Annual Family Bingo Night, we raffle off theme baskets as part of the fundraiser! Each classroom prepares a basket around a certain theme the themes are listed here for your information. If you wish to donate to the baskets by sending an item or two related to the theme, please send your donations to school by March 17th. If you prefer not to shop but still wish to donate, we will happily accept cash or checks (made payable to: Westside PTO); we will do the shopping! Please note that this is an optional donation. The proceeds raised will directly benefit the school and future family activities planned by PTO. We realize this seems very early to start collecting items, but we thought people will be shopping during the coming weeks and we could get a great head start. Take a look at the list of themes and find your child s class. We hope you ll get creative and help us prepare some beautiful baskets to raffle! THANK YOU!
