Moms and Muffins!
Spirit Cup Fundraiser!
If you have not had a chance to check out the "Spirit Cups" that the PTA is selling, I will put a catalogue and sample cup in the staff lounge. The cups are pretty cool--durable, dishwasher safe and you have a wide variety of teams to choose from--NFL, MLB and Collegiate--so we can make everyone happy!!
Cups are sold in sets of 4, each set is $18.00...they make great Christmas presents.
The fundraiser ends next week. The proceeds go toward the purchase of the First Tee Golf program for our school.
Evan from our class has already sold 10 sets! Way to go!!
