Byrom’s Auction and Party is set for Saturday, April 2 at Living Savior Church. One of the most popular and biggest moneymakers for our school are the classroom themed baskets and classroom projects. We are looking for volunteers to take on the responsibility of putting together each classrooms basket and project.

Classroom Baskets:

If you are interested in being the basket coordinator for your grade level, please contact Shelly Barrett at shellybarrett22@gmail.com. We are looking for at least two coordinators per grade.

Themes

Kindergarten- Ducks/Beavers/Timbers
1st Grade- Baking /Cooking and Sunrise/Good Morning (coffee/tea/bread mixes)
2nd- Sports and Family Fun Night
3rd- Art and Chocolate Lovers
4th- Italian Food/wine and Gardening
5th- Pampering/Spa and Date Night Out

  • If you have an idea for a theme and would like to donate your own basket, please feel free to contact Shelly.
  • In addition to your class theme, if you have any access to items through work or unopened items lying around your house that would be a good addition to another basket, we will accept all unused donations! Alcohol will need to be delivered/picked up outside of school grounds.

Classroom Projects:

Create a unique piece of art that all the children in the class have a hand in doing. Each project has a budget of $50 from the PSO. You will have to purchase materials or have them donated. You will then turn in your receipts into the PSO and will be reimbursed.
There are several websites that help in creating a fun project and you can find great ideas on Pinterest.
If you are interested in taking on this fun opportunity, please contact Nikki Castillo at nikkicastillo@yahoo.com. Projects must be completed by Friday, February 20th.

MixedBag

The MixedBag Fundraiser is underway for Byrom. This new fundraiser runs through Monday, Nov. 16. Catalogs came home with your children last week and there are so many selections, it’s hard to list them all. But, some highlights include tote bags, kitchen gadgets, lunch sets, and so much more. Many items are $10 or less.

All catalog sales earn Byrom 50 percent back while online sales earn 40 percent — both of which are phenomenal returns for the school, so be sure to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

The items included are perfect for the upcoming holiday season and birthdays, as well as hostess and teacher gifts.

Use Byrom ID: 448726 when ordering at mixedbagdesigns.com.

Book fairs are our library’s primary source of operating funds. New books, library science materials and even shelving are all supported by the fair. It is also our goal to provide the opportunity for every student to have a book in their hands and know the joy of reading for pleasure and adventure.

Students will have preview days for the fair during their library times 10/27-10/29.

Through Google Play or the Apple App Store, you can also download the Scholastic Book Fair app for your phone. You can scan book covers or barcodes to view product information. It will recommend age, grade and appropriate reading levels for books with summaries, prices and book trailers.

Thank you in advance for helping make our MONSTER BOOK FAIR a success. Preview fliers and online order information will be sent home with your child.

Thank you
