Attention all PTA moms

Here's a great fundraiser idea that our school did near the end of the year: A "priceless" auction, where families can bid on and buy special activities with the teachers. Our teachers donated pizza lunches, breakfast at the school, guitar & piano lessons, staying after school to play board games, and the grand prize was a sleepover at the school! One of Eloise's friends won this auction, so she and 6 other friends got to stay over with 2 teachers. They had a total blast running up and down the halls, eating tons of junk food, playing loud music, and doing all kinds of things you don't normally get to do at school.

As you can see from the pictures, they were totally sleep deprived (stayed up until 4am!!) and loopy. Eloise found a stressed out mom in the gym making posters for a different activity, so she offered to help for a while. On Monday, the lady brought her a treat bag and a really nice note, saying how much her kindness was appreciated. It was a great experience for Eloise and a fun and successful way to raise money for our school.
