Huge Thanks!

We really felt the carnival / silent auction was a success. We are so lucky to have a school where the principal, secretaries and teachers are so dedicated! We received such support for every member of the faculty during the silent auction! We were able to raise $2444.00 for the PTA. This makes us JUMP FOR JOY! Thanks so much to those who helped with the auction. Many people got donations from their employers. Many people helped in too many ways to list. VERY big thanks to Keri and Tanya for all of their hard work!

School Carnival - Silent Auction - Balloon Launch

We are SO excited for Monday night. It should be great weather and a great time to bring your families out to the school carnival! Exciting! This year, the PTA will be helping by manning the food booth. There should be some YUMMY food, so come hungry! Also, the PTA has gathered donations from around the community for the silent auction. They have over 50 gift baskets to auction off! YAY!!! Remember to visit the stage area and look over these items. All the proceeds from the auction go directly to benefit the students of Rees Elementary.

We also are funding the balloon launch in memory of Jayden Cartright, a kindergartner, who passed away last December. In the northeast vestibule. the students will be able to, free of charge, write a little note, memory or happy thought and attach it to a balloon. At 8:00 p.m. we will gather in the playground area and launch the balloons all at once. It should be a great event. We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday night!!
