From Miss Emily Hempill, 4th Grade Teacher:

Our 4th graders are working to raise funds for an outdoor drinking fountain for our playground.

We are having a Painting Party on February 16th at 6:00 in the Elementary Cafeteria. Theresa Wiseman is hosting the party and you can choose from a variety of designs to be painted on a wooden board. There are tons of designs to choose from, and you can check them out on her Facebook Event Page: Bloom Vernon Elementary Fundraiser Painting Party. The cost is $40 and you can post on her page which design you'd like to have. Theresa cuts the designs prior to the event, so it's helpful for her to know in advance what you want. Please let her/us know by Monday February 13thwhich design you'd like.

We will also be raffling off a 3 foot wall clock (see attached photo). Tickets for the clock are $1 per ticket or $10 for 15 tickets. You can purchase tickets in the 4th grade hallway.

Great news...there will also be a LuLaRoe vendor set up during the party, so if you're in the market for new leggings, you're in luck! A Scentsy rep will also be there that evening.

If you would like to purchase tickets for the raffle, or secure a spot for the painting party, please let me know. If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

If you'd like to see what we're trying to purchase, take a look:
