Parkin Class BLAST basket…
The following message was emailed to parents from Mrs. Chisholm yesterday…
THANK YOU to all of the parents/families who have come through so far. We have a great collection.
There is still a little time if you'd like to donate. Callum will bring the envelope on Friday (Today) and I'll get the last of the items after I return from the 6th grade field trip to Lansing.
I need to call the coordinator on the blast committee tomorrow afternoon and give her a total value of our basket. This will allow them to come up with a "Buy It Now" price. I will use the generous cash donations to buy gift cards we haven't received yet.
I will assemble our donations this weekend and turn in the basket next week. Looking forward to seeing you all at the Blast and again, thank you!
