Party Money Request

It's that time of year again. Each year at Birchview we celebrate four parties. There is a Harvest Party, Winter Party, Valentine Party, and an End of the Year Party for each class. In order to fund these parties, we are asking that each child donate $5 to their class party fund. This is separate from the PTA request for funds.

 

*** This includes K-4th grade ONLY!

 

If you would like to be listed as a Room Parent/Part planner or Party Helper, please let us know.

 

Please fill out the linked form and send it with your child's $5 donation to their teacher by October 4th. Checks can be made out to Birchview PTA.

 

Thank you,

Lindsay Merkel-Head Room Parent
