TEAM BUTZIN HOMEROOM:
As
you know the BCS Blast is the school’s main fundraiser. With That being
said, every class is asked to create a basket for auctioning. We are
asking for your help by either money donations to buy the basket items,
or donating items related to the basket.
Kathleen
Meyers and Selin Arslan graciously offered their time to put together
the blast basket for our classroom! Thank you so much for taking this
on!
Our class’s blast basket theme is, "Hair Affair". They
need to buy a hair styling session/blow out, curling iron, hair
products, possibly a gift card, and a hair brush (there might be more).
We are asking for $10 per family to be able to purchase these things.
It’s not required but would be very appreciated (that way they can make
our class basket awesome!). Or if you would like to donate any of these
items or have questions, please e-mail Kathleen Meyers at: Kathleen.meyers@gmail.com or Selin at: selinarslan@gmail.com. Kathleen is taking money donations via Venmo and Chase Quickpay, to make it easy for you;
Venmo: @rogermeyers363
We
have to have the basket done by Friday, Feb. 8th! This deadline is
fast approaching! Thank you in advance for all your help with making
our class’s basket awesome!

TEAM FRISHMAN HOMEROOM:
In
an effort to support the upcoming BCS Blast (our biggest fundraiser of
the year), each classroom at BCS will auction off a themed basket during
the event. This year's basket for Mrs. Frishman's class is entitled
"Gift Cards Around Town."
Over
the next two weeks, I will be collecting donations for our class
basket. This can be in the form of a gift card (to a local movie
theater, restaurant, store, ice cream shop, bowling, gym etc.) or a
monetary donation which will be used to purchase various gift cards to
include in the basket. Of course this is strictly voluntary, and any
amount would be greatly appreciated!
You
can send an envelope with your child to school to give to my daughter,
Annie. Once I receive it, I will give you a quick text or email to
confirm. Or you can send through Venmo (@Shantih-Johnston) or drop it in
my mailbox.
Please feel free to call me with any questions. Thank you in advance for your kind support.
