| 2010 Carnival Conclusion Thank you to everyone who supported the TES PTO Carnival the first weekend in October! Several new items highlighted the carnival this year including a used book sale, a haunted house sponsored by the BHS Drama Club, pony rides, and live goldfish. Overall the carnival and silent auction together brought in right around $6,000 for the PTO! This was an amazing accomplishment, unfortunately it was still below the budgeted amount so a few additional fund development items may have to be considered in the future. Thank you also to the many volunteers who helped with the carnival in some fashion. If you were a parent volunteer, whose child has not received a homework pass as of yet, please contact Kerry Spigner as soon as possible. Also a special thank you to the six associates from Kohl’s Department Store who volunteered with the carnival through their Associates In Action program. Through their participation it was also possible for the PTO to obtain a $500 grant! Without support from parents, teachers, BHS students and the community the carnival would not be possible. The carnival is the largest volunteer undertaking of the PTO and filling all of the volunteer spots in past years has been difficult at times. This year the carnival was an hour shorter, then in previous years, partly in hopes of compensating for that challenge. The PTO would also like to thank all of the businesses and organizations that helped to make this year’s fall carnival and silent auction possible! Without their generous support we would not have been able to raise funds for our Artist-In- Education program, Performing Arts Program and other very important items. Please, whenever possible, support the businesses and organizations, in the attached list, that give generously to your school and community! Finally, if you have not completed and returned the Carnival Report card please do so as soon as possible. The board will be deciding on the status of next year’s carnival within the next couple of months. If you would like to be part of that decision making process or would like to volunteer to serve on the Carnival Committee for next year please email Barbara Rypkema. |
