Do you have a pickup truck or a large van? We already have two people asking us to pick up items for the sale, and we expect more this week. Contact Mr. Carter ASAP if you can help in this way. So far we have items that need to be picked up Monday and sometime next week.
Rent a table for $20 and sell your own stuff. Make checks payable to SCHS.
Stay after school next Friday to set up for the sale.
Volunteer to work during the sale (parents and students are needed).
