Painless Fundraising Labels Collection

The Painless Fundraising Committee will be collecting labels on November 16th so please send in all Box Tops, Best Choice, and Tyson A+ labels. Please be sure to label your baggie with your teacher's name so that your class gets credit. Collection bins are set up in the front desk area at each campus. If you have a lot of labels, it would speed up counting if you could separate them into different baggies by label type. The class from each campus with the most labels will win a party at the

 end of the school year! This is an ongoing program so please continue collecting throughout

the year.

If you are interested in helping us count on Sunday, November 18th, or have questions about the painless fundraising program, please contact Lynne Yarnevich at  lynneporthouse@hotmail.com

Holiday Art Mart at Cherry

If you are a Maker:

We still have some open spots for artist for the 2018 Holiday Art Market. This event always attracts a large crowd of shoppers who want unique items to give as their holiday gifts. Booth fees are extremely reasonable and we would love to have you. You can find more details on the event page below, or on the online application here.

If you are a Baker (or love to volunteer):

We are always in need of wonderful volunteers to give their time and their baking skills. We have a few different volunteer opportunities for those that can bake and/or would love to donate to the bake sale. As many of you know this is where the majority of our fundraising from the event school comes from. This event would not be the same without the bake sale and all the volunteer help that we get.

To help volunteer at the bake sale/or to donate baked goods see this sign up here.

Another opportunity that we need some volunteers is for the 16th and 17th set up, or greeters. If you have some time we would love some help. It is easy and quick and you get lots of thank yous afterwards! For more info or to sign up here. 

If you Love to Shop for Unique Gifts: 

Make sure to mark your calendars for the 7th Annual Holiday Art Market. This market always showcases amazing pieces from local artists and all profits go back to the school. Also enjoy some local food trucks throughout the day to refuel and recharge as you shop! Come help the school and get your holiday shopping done. Join us Saturday, Nov 17th from 10 am - 5 p.m. at the Cherry Campus! See our facebook event page for more details here.
