GET THOSE FALL FESTIVAL GIFT BASKETS TOGETHER

Each year as part of the Fall Festival, a Gift Basket Silent Auction is held to help raise money for the
PTA. Your Room Representatives have already been busy at work coming up with a theme for your classroom, and now it’s time to get to work collecting items and/or money for items to assemble the baskets. If you have not already received a letter from your Room Representative, it should be coming home soon. This is really a fun event, so be sure to stop by the gym from 11:15-1:15 on Saturday, November 8th to see (and BID!) on your favorite baskets! This is a great opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping, or even splurge on a little something for yourself! We have many different themes – holidays, sports, beauty & spa, cooking, children’s books, art supplies, and movie night – just to name a few! If you have any questions, feel free to email Jennifer Morton at collectionsco@fpspta.org.

Fall Festival is too much fun to miss. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities before and during the Festival. Bake Sale, Gift Baskets, Games & Prizes and Decorations are just a few of the areas volunteers are still needed. Watch your child's backpack for more details of how you can help with FPS's biggest fundraiser of the year.  A lot goes into making it a success and none of it could be done without your help!  Whether it's manning a game booth, helping kids do crafts, making the scene look festive, or baking cupcakes for the bake sale (among lots of other things)...a good time is always had by all!

If you would like to volunteer to help with Fall Festival 2008 or if you are interested in becoming a corporate sponsor, please contact Mary Nussbaum, Fall Festival Chair at fallfestival@fpspta.com
