St. Denis School News January 25, 2012
Dinner Auction - Plans are well under way for our dinner auction. We are still in need of a 3rd grade parent to co chair the bar committee so that you will have an idea of what to do on that committee next year. We also need of a person or two to help Lenny and Jane Burford with the booklet, this will be their last year to do the booklet so we really need someone to help with this and learn the process. We also need several more people to sign up for the cleanup committee. If you would be interested in helping in any of these areas, please contact the office.
* Donation forms and ad forms need to be turned into the office by February 10 so that we can begin work on the booklet.
*Want a great way to recognize an upcoming event or remember someone special? The dinner auction booklet is a wonderful way to express congratulations. With First Communion and 8th grade graduation coming up quickly, you could buy a special ad for your child to remember the event. Send along a picture of your child or children and they can be added to your ad. Ads can also be a place for memorials. Follow the ad slips for pricing and sizing.
Classroom Projects - For the dinner auction each year, the classes or classrooms come up with an idea for an oral auction item, if you have any ideas for your child's class/classroom please let the office know so we can pass the word.
Rummage Sale - Our school rummage sale has been set for April 28. As you clean out closets or come across items that you no longer need, set them aside and start saving them for this fund raiser. More details will follow as we get closer.
