WinterFest Event.
Our children are worth it!

Please donate themed items towards your child’s class basket. They are anxiously awaiting items to put in
their baskets. Big or small items are welcome. You may also make a monetary donation of any amount and we
will purchase items for you for the class baskets. Now is better than later…so we can wrap up the baskets.
