GRS Soiree at Como Dockside - February 11th
The Soiree is a Great River tradition and a way for us to fundraise for opportunities that are important to our mission as a school. This year, we will continue our tradition of creating Homeless Shelter Baskets. During the Soiree, people will bid on the basket, the proceeds will go to GRS, and the person who places the winning bid may donate the basket to a charity of their choice. Please have your child bring donations by February 3rd.
Here are some donation ideas:
- soap
- shampoos/conditioners
- socks
- hair brushes
- toothbrushes
- toothpaste
- floss
- wash clothes
- deodorant
- great clips or target gift card
- diapers
- baby powder
Enjoy your three-day weekend!
