Gala Basket Items Due Friday/ Dress Down March 6th

/in /by

Just a reminder that items for the SJS Class Baskets are due tomorrow – Friday, February 27th.

A dress down day will be held next Friday (March 6th) for students who bring in an item for the basket.

These baskets bring in thousands of dollars for our school and are important to the success of the Gala.  We hope everyone will support our SJS parent volunteers in this important initiative.

Each student should have received a note from their child(ren)’s room mother(s) detailing the basket theme and items needed.  Please coordinate with the room mother to make sure the item is still needed prior to purchasing.  As an alternative, cash can be sent in (in a clearly marked envelope) that the room mother can use to purchase items needed for the basket.

As always, we thank you for your support!
