• We will be holding a cupcake auction this year on December 10th. Like other years we will be looking for donations from families but this year we will keep our baked goods to single serve cupcakes or cookies. It will be a virtual auction into homerooms so each homeroom can decide how they want to team up to get the best sweet treats.
• We will also be raffling off a Christmas basket this year. The basket includes a $50 gift certificate to Source for Sports, a bike tune-up worth $50 from Outer Limit Sports, a Kinder Mix Advent Calendar, a giant candy cane, reading socks and a cozy blanket, a chocolate cookie house kit, candy cane kisses, After Eights, a Twiddle crunch fidget toy, Mint M&Ms, an emoji Santa pillow, along with some Doritos and Cheetos. The total value of the basket currently stands at $260 but we expect even more gift certificates to be added to the basket this week. Tickets will be sold during homeroom starting tomorrow; one for $1 or three for $2. The more tickets you have in the pot, the better your chances to win!
