Spring Fundraiser Plans Underway
Preparations for our eighth annual Spring Fundraiser Dinner/Auction are underway and we need your help. It will take place on Saturday, March 21 at Cornerstone Community Church in Chowchilla. Our theme this year is Spring Fling. Heading up this event is Diana Palmer. Our Procurement Chairperson is Karla Houweling. The Decorating Committee will be chaired by Kristen Price, Tricia Iest, and Richelle Iest. Here are some ways you can get involved: 1 – Ask businesses that you visit regularly if they would donate an item to our live or silent auction. If not, perhaps they would be a corporate sponsor, which means they would give a cash donation to the school. Procurement forms (for donated items) and Corporate Sponsorship forms are available in the school office . Karla Houweling is heading this committee and needs all of our help. 2 – Invite people to attend the event. Tickets are $35 each or $250 for a table of eight. 3 – Attend the event yourself. 4 – Donate an item or a service such as a swimming pool party for eight at your home, a day of fishing at the lake, 4 music lessons or cooking lessons, 2 hours of pitching lessons, a decorated birthday cake, etc. Anything you like to do or make is something that someone else would probably want to bid on at the silent auction. 5 – Bring in any baskets and gift packing materials you have at home. We need lots of these for the silent auction items. Talk to any of the above mentioned people or call the school office for more information. We really do need your help. This fundraiser helps keep tuition costs down. Thank you for your participation.
Pajama Day Fun
Our 100th Day of School was celebrated in pajamas! After 99 days of hard work students were treated to the Principal’s Perfect Pajama Day Pancakes flipped and served hot off the griddle by the student council. Levi and Brooke helped Mrs. Dougherty mix from scratch 28 batches of pancake mix. In the morning Mrs. Brar and Mrs. Ross added the eggs, oil, and water. Mr. Mendoza and Mrs. Malady helped with the serving as we consumed around 300 pancakes. Primary grades had lots of fun 100th Day activities in class. Fourth graders read a 100th Day Book they had published when they were first graders. Seventh and eighth graders enjoyed cereal and a cartoon. The coveted Spirit Sword was taken this month by the third grade…however, all the available space on the sword has been taken! Plans are underway for the making of a “Spirit Shield” to continue the tradition of class competition. Fifth grader, Caleb Wiens, commented, “I was in first grade when my class won the very first class competion and got to put our name on the sword.” Congratulations everyone on working hard the first 100 days of school.
