And the winner is … MINIONS! Palo Verde PTA Spring Social & Auction
Palo Verde Rocks – 90’s Style
Our biggest FUN-draiser and Social Event of the year is coming up on Saturday, April 16, 2016!!! Mark those Calendars!
Wednesday, March 16 – Event Ticket Sales Start for Palo Verde Rocks – 90s Style Monday, March 28 – Online Catalog Available
Friday, April 1 – Online Auction Opens
Saturday, April 16 – Palo Verde Rocks – 90s Style Event
Friday, April 22 – Online Auction Closes
In previous years, the silent auction items have only been available at the event.
This year, the majority of the silent auction is going online through SchoolAuction.net. Starting April 1, summer camps, gift cards, and more go up on our e-auction. Last year, we used SchoolAuction.net for items that were still available after the auction event and it was quite successful.
But wait, not everything will be online. The popular Principal-of-the-Day, 5th Grade Promotion Front Row Seats, Teacher/Staff Parties and Parent Parties will only be available for sign-up and bidding starting at the the Palo Verde Rocks event on April 16th. So be sure to get your tickets and get ready to rock the 90s!
We are planning for and looking forward to a great event all around!
Please do not hesitate to contact us at vp.fundraising@pvpta.org with any questions or interest in helping out. There are many aspects to pulling this event together and most are quite fun. Every little bit counts! -Your 2016 Auction Committee
Talent Show is coming soon! (May 9)
It’s time to start thinking about your Talent Show act! Entry forms will come home just before Spring Break and Auditions will take place soon after. Please remember that:
Volunteers are essential to make the talent show happen, both before and during the show. If you are able to help out, please email: Denise White (glen.denise.white (at) gmail (dot) com) or Laam Wong (laam.wong (at) gmail (dot) com)
Art Night was a HUGE success
On Tuesday February 2, over 100 families attended the Palo Verde Family Art night. Some kids made Animal Stabiles using colorful shapes, others spent their creative time making animal accordion book art with re-used cd covers. The Japanese Gyotaku fish printing was also very popular.
The evening had a quiet buzz, creative and friendly. A big thank you goes out to Betsy Halaby and Suzie Peyton from Create Café for bringing the inspired project ideas and all of the materials.
Several volunteers were instrumental in making the evening fun for kids. They were: Heather DeLaCruz, Sunita Ganapati, Su Khiong Yong, Harshni Raghav, Hannah Lu, Janelle Graves, Mukta Awasthi, and Jennifer Cassano. Palo Verde continues to have fun family events thanks volunteers like you– thank again for making the evening such a huge success!
