SAVE THE DATE!! GLO BINGO IS FRIDAY, APRIL 13, 2018!
This event is a perfect opportunity to get together with friends (or make new ones!)! Get a table together with other class parents, family, and friends and have fun!
Of course, we cannot pull off a successful event without a little help from you. We are currently looking for bingo round sponsors ($100), donations (gift cards, event tickets such as Blues/Fox Theatre, silent auction baskets, Lottery tickets, gardening items, kids Crayola items, etc). A wheel barrow has been donated, so let’s fill it up with unopened bottles of booze & mixers. Items may be dropped off at the school office or contact Sarah Mossa at 618-420-9728 to make arrangements for pick up.
Volunteers will also be needed the night before the event for set up and the night of the event.
Reservation & Class Contest forms are in your student’s Friday Folder this week. You may also register online at sspeter-paulschool.org/glo-bingo/.
Thank you, in advance, for your support of this fundraiser! It is sure to be a FUN event! We hope to see you there!! Sarah Mossa, Susannah Arana, & Kandi Unfried GLO BINGO co-chairs
