Dear Families,
The annual Helena auction is coming up on February 17th. What IS the auction? PTO's biggest fundraiser! This year, the auction will be held in Bradford Hall at Ol' MacDonald's Farm in Savannah. Information recently came home about purchasing tickets for the event and reservations are due back by February 2nd. These tickets cover your admission and dinner. After dinner, there will be a quarter auction and live auction. There is always a wide variety of donations for the auction- gift cards, craft projects, Chiefs memorabilia, and SO many more items! As a result of this evening, several thousand dollars are raised each year for our school.
How can you help with the auction? PTO is in need of live auction items such as homemade gifts, gift baskets, and/ or baked goods. They are also asking for gift cards for the quarter auction. If you have a business connection that you are able/ willing to ask for a donation, we have a donation letter that can be shared. Any items can be sent to the school office. All donations need to be turned in no later than February 9, 2024. Thank you for all of your help in making this event successful!
FIELD TRIPS - Please remember that if you plan to volunteer or go on any field trips, you must complete a background check. There will be several opportunities for joining us on field trips in the next few months, so don't wait to get them completed! The background checks are good for several years. For more information on how to get a background check, please visit the Savannah website: https://www.savannahr3.com/page/volunteer-information.
