Hi, everyone.
It's
been great to see so many of you come through the MPR this week to
paint tiles and commemorate your students' time at Soleado (and, of
course, race to the fundraising finish line for this year).
So
far, we've had about 100 tiles painted on Monday and Tuesday, and we're
expecting another
70-100 to be painted today and Thursday, in addition to people coming
back through to touch-up Tuesday tiles. If you've already been through
this process, you know that it can be a little chaotic as we try to get
everyone set up with instructions and supplies. Therefore, if you have a
little time that you can give today or tomorrow afternoon, the Booster
Club would really, really appreciate it.
Our
greatest need is during the first hour (2:45-3:45), when people first
show up to paint. Yesterday I got things started by giving instructions
table by table and I think that helped. But as people
continue to arrive here and there, and when we have groups of kids from
Kids Corner coming through as well, it gets a little harder to make
sure everyone's set.
We
could also use help towards the end (4:15-5) to make sure people are
re-using paint cups, washing brushes, and straightening up.
I
know we ask a lot of everyone, but we aren't done with the 2012-2013
year yet, and Booster still has about $7,000 to raise between here and
the end of the year (tiles will count towards this).
And
for those of you who have asked, it looks like we brought in $1,000 for
our rummage collection on April 13th. Last year, we raised $1,300 at
our rummage sale, and this was so much easier, so it's something for us
to consider in the future . . .
Thank you again!!!
Jennifer
