MAGNOLIA ELEMENTARY NEEDS YOUR HELP
THIS SATURDAY
Mr. Reyes, the principal at Magnolia Elementary, has asked for YOUR help this Saturday, May 4th.
Mr. Reyes is looking for 15-20 volunteers to help with kids activities (reading, arts and crafts, playground games) while their parents are participating in workshops. This is a wonderful way to spend even more time with these fantastic students.
The open house is from 8am-noon. Breakfast and lunch will be provided by the school for all of the volunteers. If you can make it (even for an hour or two), please email us back ASAP so we can forward your information on to Mr. Reyes.
Thank you for your support and commitment to the school communities we serve!

EYES ON THE PRIZE(S)
This year's events are fast approaching, and we still need your help gathering prizes!
Our events are more fun and raise more money if we have
great prizes to award, raffle, and/or auction. Big prizes. Little prizes. Serious prizes. Silly prizes. We need them all! Check out our list of prizes from
last year's Silent Auction for ideas.
If you have any prizes, or you know where to get them, let us
know!
The fun starts this May with our annual Legendary Bingo night, and we'd love to have something fabulous
for the grand prize winner -- anything unique or with an autograph is always welcome!
To help you get started, here is a
generic donation letter to give to a manager, supervisor, or friend who may be able to donate a gift, product, or service, tips on how to best approach a business or person to donate to our events, and a donation
form for the donor to complete.
In the past we have had gift certificates, products, services, and tickets to fun events. If you work at or have a connection with a restaurant, retail store, or for a company with products or services to offer,
please help us by asking for a donation to our
events.
Please also let Skylar know to whom you reach out so we don't accidentally duplicate Special Events Committee
efforts in contacting businesses.
