Back to School Night Success!

Some quick notes for those that may be interested in how things went:

Silent Auction over $2,000 profit! Thank you Valyn, Jill and all those who helped with this!

School Store - Made some money, got kids excited about Friday candy and supplies. Parents pleased with prices! Thanks to Natalie W. and Co for holding down the fort!

Spirit Wear - Our order made it just in the nick of time. Made some money, got rid of some older shirts. Thanks to Matt and Janae for last minute pickup and delivery!

Volunteer Table - Ember and Mrs.Meng made everyone feel welcome while asking for (and receiving commitments) for help!

Box Tops - New Parent (to Ammon at least) Michelle, jumped right in and became a valuable volunteer!

I got to trash talk a auditorium full of families and remind them we are under new management, anyone can make a difference!

On a squishy note, I also got to tell Mr Keller, our principal to get ready to swim in a pool of jello - we WILL make our volunteer goal! I promise no more hazing after this!!
