What is Stevenson Rocks?
Stevenson Rocks is a FFS FUNdraiser that happens every year in May. This year it is on May 7th. It is a 1950’s theme this year. Here is a little note about the event from one of the FFS Presidents…
Stevenson Rocks! is Family For Stevenson's annual fundraiser. Held each spring (May 7th 2010), the event features an impressive silent auction, a live concert, games, food, shopping, and activities for members of the whole family. This year, we're going retro - 50s style and we're even having a car show! The money raised will be used to fund Stevenson's dance program, art program, garden, library and with the pink slips given to the music and physical education teacher, we could be paying their salaries next year as well! That makes this year's Stevenson Rocks Around The Arts an even more crucial occasion!
How you can help through donation…
Each family in each classroom is being asked donate either money to purchase items or specific items (see below) that will be made into baskets that will be auctioned off during Stevenson Rocks. The Silent Auction portion is a huge money-maker for Stevenson and, as stated above, we all know our school needs the money more than ever. Check out the list of items below that we are collecting for two specific theme baskets as well as a list of beverages needed for the event.
What to buy (or donate money towards) for the Silent Auction baskets DUE BY APRIL 16 :
“High School Confidential” Themed Basket: Examples --i-Pod, DVDs, iTunes gift cards (purchased via eScript helps the school on two accounts), Jamba Juice gift cards, laser tag gift cards, bowling gift cards
“Hound Dog” Themed Basket: Examples, -- Pooch stuff, ice cream gift certificates, Hot Dog On A Stick gift certificates, movie gift cards, Pickwick gift cards
(Please note that we are not asking you to put together a basket. Just simply buy an item or two (or donate money towards items) and the FFS committee will actually make the baskets.)
Also, each GRADE is asked to donate some beverages. We need beverage donations brought into the office DUE BY MAY 3rd. As I know quite a few of us have children in several grades, here is the list for each grade.
K- Water
1st-Coke
2nd- Diet Coke
3rd- Diet and Regular Pepsi
4th- Sierra Mist or Sprite
5th- Anything besides things listed above. i.e. Root Beer, Lemonade, Fruit Punch.
Where to drop the items/donate money…
If you purchase items for the baskets, please bring them to the front office or send them through you child to give to Mrs. Hill. I will provide a box labeled “Stevenson Rocks Donations” for Mrs. Hill’s room. If you are donating money, there is file folder caddy in the office on the wall across from where Deidre sits closest to the teacher’s mail room. I believe it’s labeled ROOM REPS. You will see a file folder for MRS.HILL. Feel free to place donation money in an envelope in that file folder. I’ll be checking it regularly.
Thanks again for any and all help you can offer! It should be a great event with lots of fun stuff to do for both kids and adults. One of Mrs. Hill’s class parents will be performing on the stage but I’m keeping it a secret as to who. Come to Rocks! and find out. :)
Please don’t hesitate to write or call with questions. You’ll likely get reminder emails from me as the April 16th and May 3rd so don’t shoot me when you see my name pop up in your e-mail.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Stevenson Rocks!
Take care,
