Don’t know what to donate to the auction? How about a party? New this year—we will be selling tickets to parent- and teacher-hosted parties. You tell us When, Where, For what age, How many, and Your theme and we will sell the tickets. The tickets will be a set price, no bidding. Here are some ideas;

 Progressive dinner hosted by you and your neighbors

 Poker night with the ladies

 Cooking class

 Creative Crafts for Kids

 Backyard Olympics

Have fun coming up with a fun theme. If you are interested, please fill out the backside of this form and return it to the office or email it to hanoconnor@gmail.com

Do you have a pile of Box Tops sitting in your house? Or maybe some in your fridge on that package of Green Giant mushrooms and the Gogurt box? During morning announcements on Friday, January 31st, we will have a drawing to win one of four $2.00 coupons to the school spirit store! Simply place as many BT’s as you have in a baggie, write your child’s first and last name and teacher’s name on the outside of the baggie and return it to school before 8am on 1/31 They can be handed in to the front office or given to a teacher. (due to the new teeny-tiny box tops and difficult-to-write-on material there is no need to write your name on the back ef every BT)  Thanks for supporting Box Tops For Education and Irving PTO!

Thanks so much to all who participated in the 2013 Cookie Crumble. You helped raise $1100, and the 1^st graders won the contest for donating the most cookies! Thanks again for supporting this event.
