Summer Literacy Basket Raffle
The elementary students, along with their teachers and P.T.O. created literacy baskets to raffle off to raise money for the summer reading/writing programs as well as many other literacy activities throughout the year. Each basket or container contained a book or books, along with items that go along with a theme. Winners for the baskets were announced during the elementary awards program. Preschoolers created a baking basket using “If You Give a Moose a Muffin.” Kindergarten selected a rainy day theme with “The Napping House” and activities and games to do on a rainy day. First grade selected Junie B. Jones and a Hawaiian theme. Second grade put together a western basket. Third grade filled a wash tub with Laura Ingalls Wilder books and pioneer items. Fourth grade used a bait bucket and filled it with fishing supplies. Fifth grade created a tricksters basket filled with games and puzzles. And P.T.O. filled their basket with chocolate!
This fundraiser brought in over $250 for literacy projects. Thank you, to all who donated items for the baskets and those who purchased chances on them.
