Our school's major fundraiser every year is our Fall Festival. It's huge!! Our building is transformed into a family friendly Halloween celebration. There are games, a haunted house, concessions, a pumpkin decorating contest, and my favorite...The Silent Auction!!!
Each class is in charge of providing a themed basket for the auction. You can usually find a family fun night basket, cleaning basket, gift card basket, etc.. One of my favorite this year was "Keep Calm and Bake On!" Super cute theme, right? This year my firsties and I made a basket themed "We LOVE Reading!" Each student brought $5 OR an item for the basket. I am sooo happy with the way our basket turned out. (I actually thought about bidding myself!) The most impressive part of our basket was the basket itself. My room mom did an AMAZING job of painting it to match the theme. I just fell in love and hated to see it go!!
We had about 10-12 books, a Barnes and Noble giftcard, a custom Dr. Seuss quote cup, a framed Keep Calm and Read On sign, Dr. Seuss socks, and a SkippyJon Jones notecard set.
Here is a shot of the back of the basket. Just fabulous!
I'll be back later this week with a freebie that I'm working on! Giggles...
