Sunday Update

Arrrrgggghhh! I'm sweating out the NFL draft here and wishing Pittsburgh would get off their collective butts and draft John Sullivan.

Anyway.....
Madhunika has the spa basket with everything in it except the gift certificate. I collected $22 more today so we are now up to $142. I'll send a reminder email out to everyone in a couple minutes. Maybe that will distract me from the knots in my stomach!

Thursday update

5 more contributions today, and we're up to $120 total collected. I forgot school is closed tomorrow, so if you haven't contributed yet and are planning to do so, please bring it in Monday morning and tuck it in the manila envelope in Sadie's mailbox above the cubbies.

I'm going to put the spa basket together this weekend and get it to Madhunika, and she's going to deliver it to Maryann's office next Friday.

Thanks to everyone for pitching in!

Teacher Appreciation Week Info

Tues. night -- so far we have a running total of 5 contributions ($63 total) toward:

$50 gift basket for the teacher raffles (Cui donated the basket, I picked up the box of lavender bath stuff at Costco for $15)

3 teacher gifts (went to Costco, got each of them a big beach towel for $11 and to Linens and Things where I got them colorful mesh beach bags for $7)

Sheryn volunteered to go pick up the mani/pedi gift certificates at Town Nail, which should be $35 apiece. Definitely one for the raffle basket, if everyone chips in at least $11 we should have just enough to do 3 more for the teachers also. So far everyone seems interested in chipping in, so I'm not worried.

I'm going to get the gift basket to Madhunika before I leave for Washington (4/29), and she will deliver it to Maryanne's office on Friday 5/2.

Madhunika's also going to check on how much coffee to buy and she said this afternoon that she would take care of getting that to school on Monday morning 5/5.

I'll keep everyone posted on how we're doing!
