APPLICATION FORM

 

Irving Tasty Dog Raffle Tickets at Irving Book Fair Today

Please consider signing up for a one-hour time slot to sell tickets at Tasty Dog next Wednesday, April 30th. Pair up with your kid, it’s a fun job for them. I am mostly looking for people between the hours of 3:00 and 7:00, but filling all time slots would be great. 
 
Also, I’ll be popping into the book fair to sell tickets on Wednesday evening, so you can buy your raffle tickets then, and also sign up for a volunteer slot if you like. 
 
The hard copies went into the Teacher’s mailboxes late last week, hopefully you got yours! Feel free to send the form back at your convenience if you would like to buy tickets that way.  Please see the attached flyer/form for a list of the fantastic prizes. Use the link below to sign up to volunteer. 
 
Thanks!

Yo quiero libros! Vamos a leer! I want books! Let’s go read!

An amazing selection of books is headed our way! Teacher wish lists will be available at the sale to help build classroom libraries. Our profits from the book sale help create an amazing school library!

If you can’t make it to our fair, the online book fair runs from April 21- May 11. It’s a great way to stock up on summer reading or find a special gift for a special teacher!

We need volunteers to help work the fair during classroom preview hours and the sale. We’d love to have you, even if you only have 45 minutes to spare at dismissal!
