Dear Friends, 

Thank you so much for your generous donations towards the 2nd grade basket.  The 2nd grade moms were able to put together two beautiful baskets for Nativity's Big Night Out.

The first basket is a "backyard fun" that includes all the outdoor play items there were sent in.  

The 2nd is a "backyard bistro" set and includes an outdoor gas fire table, outdoor string lights, and milk jar cups!  

Thank you so much for your overwhelming generosity and to our talented homeroom moms who put it all together!  You guys rock!!!  

We hope to see you all there Saturday night and wish you all good luck!!!!
