Teacher Luncheon (3)

January Teacher Luncheon

Help show our wonderful faculty and staff how much we appreciate all the time and hard work that they put into giving our children the very best educational experience possible. For the last Thursday of each month, I am organizing volunteers to provide lunch for them in the Teacher’s Lounge.

Use the Sign Up Genius below to volunteer. We need about 4 volunteers to bring mains, sides, salads, desserts, etc. Our next Teacher Luncheon is Thursday, January 31. Feel free to sign up for any month that works for you. It’s a great way to show our appreciation and earn your volunteer hours. (Every $20 spent on food = 1 volunteer hour.)

Contact Katy Coleman with any questions. Thank you!

Help Spruce the School – Volunteers Needed

Sunday, January 27 is our St. Alphonsus Parish School Open House and the beginning of National Catholic Schools Week and we need to put a little polish on our beautiful light here in Ballard.

We will meet at 10am in the school cafeteria and work until our tasks are completed, we are thinking about 1pm. You DO NOT need to stay for the whole time, any time you can spare will be appreciated.

We will have light snacks and drinks an of course, this counts toward you volunteer hours.

Stamps Needed: Easy Volunteer Opportunity

Jog-a-thon sponsor letters are ready to go out, but we need stamps!  Please drop off your stamp donation in the school office and write “Jog-a-thon” on the front of the envelope.

For every $20 you spend (that’s two books of stamps) you will receive one volunteer hour.

Did you know… you can purchase stamps online from the US Postal Service and have them mailed directly to the school (5816 15th Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107). Just add “Attn: Jog-a-thon” in the address line.  Learn more:https://www.usps.com/

Holiday Hoopla – December 14

It’s Holiday Hoopla Time!

Friday, December 14

Bring Your Items November 26 – December 13

On a piggy bank budget ($0.25 per item) our children can shop for gifts for parents, grandparents, siblings and loved ones of all ages. But we need your help!

Donate
Suggested items include accessories, like scarves, purses, belts and jewelry. Check around your home or work for reusable toys, books, games, DVDs, CDs, holiday decor, kitchen items, gardening supplies, craft supplies. Gifts for Dads/Grandpa are often hard to find, so consider things that might work for them.

We can NOT accept donations of clothing or food.
We also are in need of gift wrap, gift bags, ribbon, and tags.

The day of Holiday Hoopla, please have your child bring a bag to put their gifts that they will purchase for family and loved ones. Our volunteer’s will help them wrap the gifts. Each item is a $0.25. Please have your child bring a list of family members’ names and enough money for each gift.

Volunteer
It takes a lot people to sort the items, help our kids shop, and then wrap the gifts. Please feel free to e-mail oksanaposthuma@gmail.com if you would like to help or have any questions. A Sign-Up Genius will be up on Nov 26th with specific dates and times.

Only 9 Days Until the Gala!

Just 9 days until the Gala!

Thank you for all the great auction item donations, the really cool artwork, countless volunteer hours, and the amazing RSVP response!  We can’t wait to celebrate with you on auction night!

*We are still in need of some A/V Help and a Live Auction Bid Runner. These are auction night roles and would be a good fit for high school students in need of volunteer hours. Also a good fit for a parent not planning to attend the event. Visit the Sign Up Genius for more information.*

Check off your Auction To-Do list!

Have you checked off your Auction To-Do list?

 

PROCURE
The procurement deadline has come and gone, but there is still time – if you act now. Fill out the information online, via the procurement form or through procurement buyout. Our catalog will be going to the printers soon so we have a real “need to know”! To date, just 58% of our school community has fulfilled their auction procurement commitment. Unfulfilled procurement commitments will be billed in June.

VOLUNTEER
Our school is full of amazing volunteers. The Auction Sign Up Genius is almost full! There are still some spots and we’ll add more as we think of them. Another way to earn your volunteer hours is at the Loyal Heights and St. John auctions in the Spring. Loyal Heights will hold their annual auction on March 23, at the Nordic Heritage Museum. St. John’s auction is on April 5, at Fremont Studios. We’ll send out more information leading up to both events.

GET HERE!
Auction RSVP’s are due by Monday, October 29th!  You can RSVP online or via the card included with your invite (there is a drop box in the school office). Don’t forget our “Fill Your Table Challenge”… There is a $50 Dessert Dash credit and more awaiting you!

Find information about the above (and so much more!) on our website.
