From the Fifth Grade Committee:

Dear Parents, 

 

Thank you for your support in the 5th grade fundraisers, attending dine out night, signing your child up for Afternoon of Arts and attending Rockin' for the Arts. 

 

This year we wanted to be innovative with the fundraisers and have chosen fundraisers that don't involve much parent volunteer time at school. 

 

Fifth grade committee fundraisers this month are the Buddy Grams &  online auction. So far the Buddy Grams have made a little over $1,600 and we still have a couple of days to go. 

 

The online auction is scheduled for the last week of January and will end on Sunday, February 4th. 

This is what I have so far in terms of items to auction - click here. 

 

Please let me know if you can donate to the auction. If so, please email or call me at 818. 244.2113. 

 

Thank you in advance, 

 

April Faieta
