Crafty Shack Forms Due Tomorrow!

Just a reminder that Crafty Shack permission forms and money are due no later than tomorrow, Tuesday, December 20! This activity will take place after school from 3:30-4:30 on Wednesday, January 11. Cost is $13.00 per student, check or money order made payable to Center PTA. We cannot accept late registrations due to the fact that The Crafty Shack needs enough lead time over the holidays to order supplies for us. Thank you!!!

THE HOLIDAY SHOP

We want to thank all of you who took time out of your busy schedules to come and volunteer at the Holiday Shop this year.  It is a big event for the students—one that they look forward to each year—and requires many volunteers to make it run smoothly.  Whether you were able to help for a few hours or from set-up to take-down, we are very grateful. The students enjoyed shopping and were so happy to have their gifts wrapped so nicely.  Another thank you to everyone who donated wrapping paper, tape and gift tags! We hope you enjoy the surprises your children carefully selected just for you!  

Thanks so much!

Melissa Yausm and Gina Rose

Crafty Shack Forms Due December 20

The Crafty Shack will be at Center after school on Wednesday, January 11, 2017. All Center students are welcome to stay after school to paint a snowman mug. Mugs will be taken back to the Crafty  Shack to be fired and will be returned to the school at a later date. The cost is $13.00 per student, check or money order made payable to Center PTA. Students who participate in this event must be picked up in the cafeteria at 4:30 pm on January 11.

RSVP forms and money for this event are due back to school on or before Tuesday, December 20. Because The Crafty Shack needs enough time to order enough mugs and supplies for this event, unfortunately we will not be able to accept late registrations!
