Carnival Basket

Dear Parents of Mr. Desin's and Mrs. Gordon's classes,
Every year the Big Shanty PTA holds a Spring Carnival with games, bouncies, and more for the families of Big Shanty and the Kennesaw Community. It is a fantastic event that the kids, parents and staff love. The date for the Spring Carnival is Friday, April 24, 2015. More details about the carnival will be sent at a later date.
This is not a fund raising event. In order to keep ticket prices low so everyone has an opportunity to join in the fun, we hold a silent auction with different themed baskets. Each class is responsible for putting together their basket through donations. 
This year, our classes will be working together to assemble one basket.  The theme for our team’s basket is Emergency Preparedness. We want this to be the best basket and are asking all parents in all the classes to donate items appropriate to this theme. We already have some awesome donations, thanks to Noah Martin's grandmother! She is secretary to the county manager and was able to get these items donated for us: smoke detector, carbon dioxide detector, hand cranked battery emergency radio, fire blanket, first aide kit, head lamp, hard hat, door ax! If you have contacts for donations, that is all the better!
All items for the basket need to be turned in to the teacher NO LATER than Friday, April 10th. We know this seems a long way off, but it is never too early to start looking for items! Not to mention, we have Spring Break in the midst. Don’t forget to take advantage of sales!
If you do not have time to purchase items, and would rather make a monetary donation toward items in the basket, please send your donation in with your child in an envelope addressed to: Teresa and indicate that it is for the carnival basket. We will then use the money collected to purchase items for the basket, a big basket/container to hold all of the items, or purchase gift cards to put in the basket. 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact either of the room mom's for our classes: Stephanie Martin, martinjstephanie@yahoo.com (Mrs. Gordon's class) or Teresa Bowling, ltbowling@bellsouth.net (Mr. Desin's class).
Thank you very much!
