A big thanks to all of the families who have contributed to the SOAR silent auction. There are great items coming in! For every donation made from the wishlist or to the Eagle’s Nest, your student was entered into a drawing for bonus time in the new STEM Lab! The winners were from Mrs. Drews and Ms. Hoover’s classrooms! Congrats.
Currently, we are also in great need of gift cards for the Eagle’s Nest featured at SOAR. We are hoping that the next time you are out to eat or shopping, you consider purchasing a gift card for any denomination and then donate it to SOAR. There will only be so many “eggs” available at the event, so you will need to act quickly.
If you would like to contribute to SOAR in some way or have questions, please contact the school office or e-mail thoward@sjsomaha.org. You can also forward any donations to the office marked “SOAR.” The deadline for donations is November 1st.
BASKETS NEEDED! SOAR is in need of baskets. If you have baskets you can donate forward to the school office.
