End of Season Gifting!!
We will celebrate the end of fall season on the bus ride home from the ATLANTA contest on Saturday night, Oct 28th...so of course all girls are required to ride the charter bus to & from that event!!
Each of the 32 girls will need to bring their own JUMBO shopping bag and ALL are expected to bring something gifty to put in everyone's bags. Doesn't have to be a certain price or a certain type thing, just needs to be girly, & fun!! Let your wallet be the guide on what you purchase/make and be sure you send at least 32 of whatever gift & food item you choose...see below. Please remember we have 8 Seniors who deserve some extra special treatment!!
Food assignments by grade levels...
Juniors & Sophomores = chicken fingers/nuggets, lady finger type sandwiches
Freshmen = veggie/cheese/fruit snacks
8th grade = salty snacks
7th grade = sweet snacks
Rebecca and I will furnish a cooler with drinks and trash bags. Items must be individually packaged, bagged, or wrapped...think finger foods packed for travel.
Food/Gift items will come in at 10 p.m. Friday. Everything MUST be prepped & ready for distribution when they arrive. Each girl will share her gift with others on the ride home, we will enjoy food items together at that time as well...our Seniors and a few others will share their final thoughts on the season.
Please use frozen ice packs rather than just ice so we can avoid melting ice/spills.
