The Parent Social is on April 27 at McKenzie Brew House in Malvern – less than two weeks away! Since space is limited, so please click here to RSVP now!
This is our last call for auction items. We are specifically looking for dining gift cards and pairs of movie tickets. If you can donate one of these, please email Frani Aufiero directly before the deadline of April 17.
NEW this year are our Teacher Time donations. It’s going to be “All Fun and Games” at the Parent Social and we have some great fun and games for your kids too! Some will be offered as “pay to play” – available in advance of the event – and others will be silent auction items offered at the event. Please talk with your children about these terrific Teacher Time items and consider signing up for them next week via the Blast or at the silent auction.

You can donate during the weeks of Monday, April 8th through Friday, April 19th collection boxes will be located in the main lobby labeled Cradles to Crayons.
