BINGO Donations for BINGO Night

posted ‎‎Nov 25, 2008 1:28 PM‎‎ by Communications VTT   [ updated ‎‎Nov 27, 2008 1:32 PM‎‎ ]

Talmud Torah’s annual BINGO NIGHT is on
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. In order to make it a success we need your help! Each classroom is being asked to collect themed items to make a gift bag, basket or bundle that will be used as a bingo prize.

Based on our donations from last year, we are hoping that each child can bring in an item that would be comparable to a $5 - $10 gift; anything more is greatly appreciated. Please ensure that the gifts are new, part of the class theme (see below) AND AT THE SCHOOL BY DECEMBER 15, 2008. Please have your child bring it to his or her class, where it will be collected. The BINGO NIGHT Committee will then create themed gift bags, baskets and bundles for bingo prizes from your generous donations!

By the way, the first class to bring in all gifts wins a class party!

If this causes a financial burden, please notify Jessica Neville, the Director of Student Services, and a donation will be given to your child to contribute to the class gift.  We want everyone to be able to contribute to the success of BINGO NIGHT!

Any questions or comments? Please contact Deborah Youngson, BINGO NIGHT Committee Chair at shaverandgoose@shaw.ca.
Thank you in advance,
Deborah Youngson (Chair) and the BINGO NIGHT Committee
