Please remember that your monetary donation for your class’s Family Fun Dance raffle basket is due no later than Friday, February 10. Room parents are collecting this money to purchase a donation that will be raffled off at this year’s Family Fun Dance. Please remember that your participation is completely voluntary. If you choose to donate, a suggested donation of $10-15 is recommended.
For complete details on making a donation, please click HERE. This flyer includes the list of class or grade level contacts that will collect checks. Checks should be made payable to this individual, NOT Aldrin PTA. Also, we ask that you send your check to school in a sealed envelope clearly labeled “FFD Class Basket.” Include your child’s teacher’s name and the name of your class basket contact person (listed HERE). This will ensure that all donations go to the correct basket.
This is a huge (and very successful!) fundraiser every year for your PTA and we thank you for your continued support in helping us reach our fundraising goals.

Baskets in the past have include items such as iPads, iPods, XBox/Wii, handheld electronics, bikes, Legos, and American Girl dolls. Room parents will purchase items for their baskets using monetary donations collected from the families in their class.
Our event is quickly approaching, so we want to give you a head’s up so you can act quickly! Please watch for a flyer/e-mail from your class room parent with details of what your class is contributing and who to send your monetary donation to. To ensure that your donation reaches the room parent, please enclose your check in a sealed envelope and clearly mark it with your room parent’s name and your class/grade. Participation is voluntary and not a requirement. The suggested donation is $10 – $15 per family, but any amount you feel comfortable with is appreciated in support of our school.
If you have any questions about what your class is donating or how to donate, please contact your class room parent. There is a complete listing of room parents in the school directory you received in November if you do not know the name of your room parent.
