So Many Choices!
Beautiful baskets filled with merchandise. Let’s see, which ones do I want to try to win? We could use some new camping supplies. How about all that great chocolate? Gift
certificates to area restaurants, now that sounds great. Then there are all these fun games to play—maybe my kids will take a break from their electronics. Now, what color raffle tickets are going to make me the winner? Oh, I know it doesn’t matter…but then again, maybe it does!!
The Big Basket Raffle and Silent Auction is the school’s largest fundraiser of the year. It has taken place every spring for 14 years. And this is going to be the 15th, on Saturday, March 28th! Over 300 area residents and their friends and family attend.
What People Are Saying About it:
A few past attendees said the following:
“I always enjoy the administration being the announcers!! Great girls night out! It is fun to win and cheer for your friends when they win! It's fun for the parents to enjoy themselves while their kids are at fun night.”
“Truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into putting the baskets all together (from the teachers, parents and kids to the organizers and volunteers). It makes for an interactive fundraiser that has become an annual community event that we look forward to.”Don’t you want to join them?

You Have Been Challenged!
If the Ice Bucket Challenge taught us nothing else, it showed how issuing a challenge to the world will help spread the word like wildfire! In the same spirit of wanting to help raise awareness and get people talking, the International Lyme Community has issued this challenge: Take a Bite Out of Lyme!

IMPETIGO, (could this be the rash your child has)?
Impetigo, one of the most common skin infections among kids, usually produces blisters or sores on the face, neck, hands, and diaper area. The sores burst and develop honey-colored crusts. Impetigo is a highly contagious skin infection and is generally caused by one of two bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus or Streptococcus pyogenes (also called group A streptococcus, which also causes strep throat). Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is also becoming an important cause of impetigo.
