Class Craft

As the Harvest Festival nears, each class is working on creating an exciting basket to be part of the silent auction.  Check out the creative ideas this year, from ways to jump start your mornings with the "Good Morning” themed basket by Miss Wier's class which includes homemade granola, to a "Coffee and Tea" compilation from Mrs. O'Brien's class for that extra kick any time of day!  Have an upcoming birthday in your family?  Mrs. Wood's class is wrapping up everything needed for your child's next birthday party, including a gift certificate for a party at Philly Kid's Gym!  Looking for a little magic or intrigue?  Check out the baskets titled "Magic and Logic" coming from Mr. VanNesse's class or the City of Brotherly Love basket from Ms. Kulick's class.  Last, any Gleeks out there will be sure to check out what the 8th grade is pulling together!!  Check out the bulletin board in the parlor to see what other baskets are under creation, or check in with your class parent to see how you can contribute to your class efforts.  These exciting baskets will be available for display leading up to the Harvest Festival and bidding starts Saturday, October 23rd!!!  If you have any questions, please email Kate Donato (katedonato@msn.com) or Sharon Loughren, (sharon.loughran@temple.edu) Class Basket Chairs for this year.
