FIRST GRADE HARVEST FESTIVAL

 

Friday October the 4^th will be our Harvest Festival.

 

We need donations for our raffle.  If you or someone you know makes nice crafts, or has a product(s) that you could donate we would sincerely appreciate it.  Please contact any First Grade teacher with information on your donation as soon as possible so we can get tickets ready.

 

Our booth will be a bottle ring toss.  We need donations of bottle drinks also. The little six packs of bottles of Kool-Aid for around a dollar are great.  We will also take any size of soft drinks, juice, water, etc. in a bottle.

 

I know we sound rather needy, but the money we earn will allow us to take a field trip.  Any money that is left moves up with this class through their senior year of high school.  So you will be helping your child all the way through school with this effort.

 

Thank you,

The First Grade Teachers
