LPES+SILENT+AUCTION+AND+CARNIVAL

We would love your input on making the Silent Auction and Carnival a huge success this year. Our next PTA meeting will work on this activity. The meeting is Wednesday March 30th at LPES. If you let us know by March 15th, childcare will be provided. Here is a page that you can place your ideas. You can use your name or write suggestions in secret. We are looking for ways to use our theme at the event. The theme this year is Reaching for the Stars for your Children's Education.

Maybe the sponsors could be stars, moons, galaxies, milky way?

no black holes...

We need helpers for classroom projects

We need sponsors and donations.

Should we email something like this to all members? Let us know your input on this page!
