            Our PTO is hosting a basket raffle event!  The event will be held on April 27^th and April 28^th.  Each classroom has selected a theme to donate towards the basket raffle.  This year, our theme will be Gift Cards Galore!   

There are two ways you can participate in our class basket:

1.    You may purchase a gift card on your own and send it to school with your child in their BEE folder.

2.    You may send in a monetary donation in an envelope in your child’s BEE folder and I will purchase the gift card for you!

*Please note, any size gift card/ money donation would be greatly appreciated!

*If you are interested in participating in the PTO basket raffle, all gift cards and money must be turned in by Friday, April 5^th.
