Gala Baskets Info from MAPA

Hello Families,

The MAPA parents have worked hard this year providing us with so much support and resources. They chose a theme for each class to put together a basket for the Gala Fundraiser happening in March.

Our basket theme is, Adventure Is Out There. Here are some donations ideas: camp chairs, sleeping bags, marshmallows, gram crackers, flashlights, roasting sticks, camping gear, etc.

Thank you for all your support!

Ms. Holly

Hey everyone,

Not sure if everyone knows we have a blog up and running, but we do. If you can, please let your parents know. It’s another great resource for parents that want to stay connected to their local PTA (that’s basically what we are).

If I don’t see you between now and Friday, Happy Christmas loves! Cheers!
