Baskets will be in the school foyer from Monday, September 12 through Friday September30.
Remember to watch the clearance aisles and closeouts – they are great places to find hidden treasures!
Also BORDERS is going out of business great deals to be found.
Class Baskets are a great way for our kids to get involved in the auction. Each class will have a themed basket (see below) and the kids and their families contribute items to the basket. These baskets are highly sought-after items in the auction. The items need not be expensive ($1-$15) and it’s fun to see how creative you can get with the theme.
