If you can sign up to bring in any baked items and/or spare one hour or more we would truly appreciate the support. (Students may assist bake sale volunteers with your teacher’s approval.) Don’t forget to also bring money at pick up so you can also support the bake sale. Buy a treat after school and help our fundraiser!
All proceeds benefit the YCS PTA and our student’s enrichment programs. Thank you to those who already signed up!
Volunteers & prize donations needed for Game Night!
Game night is this Saturday, March 2nd! This year we’ll have 2 sections (PK-1, 2-5) and we need more volunteers and prizes than ever! Click here to sign up and help at the event!
We are planning for two sessions for game night this year (PK – 1st and 2nd – 5th), and in order to split up the event, we need more prizes than ever! Toys, games, puzzles and arts and crafts all make wonderful donations and are perfect for all ages.
Simply drop off your prize in one of the bins provided in the east lobby or west lobby. Please tape your name to it so we know who donated! Collection dates are: Monday, February 4th – Friday, March 1st.
Thanks in advance for your support. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer for this event, please contact Lili at lili.lampasona@yorkvillecommunityschool.org
Any extra prizes will be donated to charity or saved for our school auction.
