A Sense-sational Evening

Time is running out! A Sense-sational Evening is just two weeks away. If you have not yet purchased your tickets, we encourage you to do so this week. Tickets can be purchased up until the day before the event for $40 each. To make it as easy as possible for you, simply send a check or cash in an envelope to school marked " Sense-sational Evening" with the number of tickets you would like. Tickets will be sent back to you the same way.

We encourage you to plan to attend for a great night out that also supports the school.

Please make sure that if you have signed up for BINGO that you attend! Last outing, we only had 2 of the 6 children attend. Not only is this a service opportunity, more importantly it is a chance to interact with the senior population in our community and brighten their day! They so look forward to this.

I would like to try and have a committee meeting this week. Choices are: Friday night at 7:00pm in the Science Lab, or Saturday morning (9:00am) in the Science Lab or at Panera's. Please let me know your availability at kathyroach66@gmail.com. We will be discussing the theme, and our next steps.
