Dear 5th grade parents,

This Friday we will have our third fundraiser for our Sea World trip in May. The event is the Sock Hop!

Basic info:

Fri, Feb 17, 6-8pm, Deep Wood Cafeteria.

Many of you have already stepped up to help our kids raise the projected $1000 we are hoping for from this event.

However, in order to pull of this event, we still need lots of extra help.

Also, since each family is expected to help with at least two events to raise funds for Sea World, this is a great opportunity to participate.

Here is where we still need help:

*students to sign up for 30 minute shifts

*parents to sign up for 30 min shifts

*help setting up

*help decorating

* a few baked goods

*a few behind the scenes tasks

*small items that would work for the drawings

If you are able to help, please call Relda 433-0832

Thank you!
