The PTA is introducing a new way to show our Amazing Boggess Teachers how much we appreciate and love them. We will be collecting snack donations to deliver to the teachers one day each month. Our first trip with the snack cart this month was a huge success! Not every month's snacks will be the same. Let's show the teachers how thankful we are for all that they do.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: View the snack list and sign up here. Look for more details on our next drop-off date in January.
We loved seeing everyone's smiles at our Book Fair last week! Our in-person sales last week were over $15,000.
Together, we also had:
- 🤓 More than $1,700 in new books for teachers and their classrooms. That's approximately 213 books, and that does *not* include the books you purchased directly to gift to teachers. WOW!
- 😇 More than 80 books purchased for students with financial need.
- 🧐 20 guessing jar winners who received a new poster.
- 😃 Countless smiles!
A few memorable moments:
- 🤩 Two fifth grade students each had a few dollars left after making their purchases. They pooled their money together and bought a book for Mr. Dismuke from his bin.
- 😴 Upon seeing the Book Fair on preview day, one of Mrs. Blakey's second graders declared, "This is like a dream!"
- 😜 Mrs. Giordano's sixth-grade son visited Book Fair in the morning before school so he could buy a book for her as he had done every single year before when he was at Boggess. He paid it all in quarters.
- 😍 The third grader who used his entire wishlist for books his little sister would like "because I really love her."
