It’s Spring and there are great fundraising opportunities for everyone.

  • It’s a grocery bag, toy bag, trip bag, lunch bag, beach bag, an anything bag…it’s a MIXED BAG.  These cute bright “green” (not the color) bags are the latest craze.  They make terrific teacher, Mother’s Day or birthday gifts and can be monogramed for only $6.  Our goal is for each family to sell $100 and all orders are due by April 20th.  Click on Mixed Bags to download an order form and note that the department store bags for the City Lights and Rings patterns are out of stock.  Please contact Heather Butler with any questions.
