LCES Updates 10/13/20: PTA Message re Hallowingo

Virtual Hallowingo

hw

 

Hello Lee's Corner Families,

Hallowingo has been a big part of Lees Corner ES’ tradition for well over 10 years but with the limitations that are in place due to COVID, it will look a lot different this year.

Even though we will not be putting on an in-person Hallowingo party, the PTA would love for the kids to feel the excitement of the famous Hallowingo baskets. Each classroom will have the opportunity to submit a basket to be raffled off. Raffle tickets will be available online to be purchased through member HUB starting on Wednesday the 13th and in-person on the 27th and 28th between 4:30-6:30, for $2 per raffle. Families will also be able to view the baskets on the 27th and 28th to put in for their favorite basket.  Pledge families will receive five free raffles but can also purchase additional tickets. Pledge families' free tickets and tickets purchased online will be delivered to your child's classroom, labeled with their name. Students will have the opportunity to put in their tickets during designated times.

With limited in-school volunteer opportunities, this is a wonderful chance for families to participate by creating classroom baskets. Parent volunteers will need to email our treasurer at Betsy.rhodes@gmail.com and include first and last name, address, email, phone number, and teacher names to receive the $50 to put towards their basket. You can also reach out to other classroom parents to donate items or reach out to local restaurants and businesses to contribute towards the basket. Letters are attached that you can share with the merchants.

Baskets will need to be turned into the school by October 26th, and the raffle drawing will be done virtually on Friday the 29th and delivered to the winning families.

We will also be conducting a virtual costume contest that student will get to vote on. Please submit your children’s photos to LeescornerPTA@outlook.com.

And finally, each classroom has received a craft pumpkin to be decorated. The deadline for pumpkins will be October 22nd and will be displayed at the school for our students to vote on. The winning classroom will win a pizza party. Please reach out to your child's classroom teacher and volunteer or contribute towards their baskets or pumpkin decorating contest.

Thank you!
