Fundraising Update
Holiday Shop
A big thanks for Mrs. Bass & Mrs. Corradi for coordinating the 2018 Holiday Shop. We also have to give a thanks to all the volunteer elves who assisted in running the shop and assisting students in shopping and wrapping gifts. With all their efforts, and the shopping of our generous school community, the PTO raised $2,350! We can't thank everyone enough for their support and hope all your families enjoyed well chosen gifts for everyone.
Hungry Howie's
Drumroll please...We have a new Hungry Howie's winner for December! Thank you Mrs. Szymanski and her 1st grade families for their support. They will be awarded a classroom pizza party in January. Momentum continues to grow with December's donation being $108! We are looking forward to our next Hungry Howie's Night on Wednesday, January 30th.
Buffalo Wild Wings Restaurant Night
We would like to thank all the families who came out for our first Buffalo Wild Wings Night in Novi. This was a new restaurant for us to try out for fundraising efforts and they generously donated 20% of food sales from Salem friends and families. We would love to hear feedback from you on this event and if this would be something of interest to try again in the future.
