Stevenson Rocks!

I just want to quickly remind everyone about one of our biggest fundraisers which is coming up on May 7th. You may have heard about it already, but it's called Stevenson Rocks!, and it's put on by FFS (Families For Stevenson). There will be a silent auction (more on that in a minute), live concert, games, food, shopping, and even an antique car show. This year the theme is 50's style. The reason this event is so important is because the money raised goes to fund the dance, art, and garden programs as well as helps support the library. Additionally, and this is why it's so critical this year, FFS is hoping to be able to support the salaries of the PE and music teachers next year due to district budget cuts.

As for the silent auction, we are asking each class to prepare a gift basket (or two) which will be created by donations of goodies as the families of the students are able or have the financial means to do so. If you don't have time to shop, someone will take care of it for you if you would like to just donate some $$. Either way, please bring your donations TO THE OFFICE BY APRIL 16TH. Ms. Carrillo's class is preparing 2 baskets, "Summer Time Blues" and "Splish Splash". Some items to donate could be beach towels, pool toys, water park tickets, and even Target and Wal-Mart gift cards. The baskets will be assembled and auctioned off, so the better our baskets are, the higher price they will fetch.

Please make plans to come by this wonderful event, and please remember to bring any donations that you are able to contribute to the office by April 16th. This will give those putting the baskets together enough time to do so and still get some sleep here and there.

Thanks!!!!

Michelle
