From the delight and
joy on the children’s faces upon Santa’s arrival, the activity at the vendor
booths right down to the raffle basket drawings an exciting and fun day was had
by all!
We received many
compliments on our raffle items. Our families really outdid themselves this
year! Thanks to
the generosity of our families we had movie baskets, salon baskets, pasta
baskets, toys, baked goods, gift card baskets, wine baskets, Christmas
trees, wreaths and MUCH more. We
had over fifty raffle items!
The chocolate fountain
area as always was a huge hit with the children and the adults. Thank you to Cheryl
Burke and to her family for donating all the goodies.
Bonnie Weiler once again
did her magic and she photographed many, many children with Santa. Big thanks
to Autumn Caraglio for doing an amazing job of keeping track of all the photos.
Our kitchen staff was
stellar! Thank you Tony Maraucci, Rob Shandrowski, Gloriann Albini and Carla Lombardo
for serving up breakfast with Santa, and running Santa’s Snack Bar, with smiles
all around!
A big round of applause
goes to our Festival of Trees Committee members: Gloriann Albini, Cheryl Burke, Autumn Caraglio, Sarah Diur, Stacey
Ference, Nilsa Grafals, Carla Lombardo, Michelle Santiago, Robin Scarlata, Jen Shuart, Penelope
Wagner, and Bonnie Weiler! Thank you for donating your time, and skills. Thank you
for donating craft items, and food items, and raffle items, for decorating
trees, for loaning us your husbands, and your brother-in-laws, and inflatable
snowmen, and Santa suits, and for setting up, and taking raffle tickets, and
making name tags, and reindeer food, and running the craft table, and phoning
the winners, and so much more. Truly, thanks for being an amazing committee and
creating a spectacular event!
Huge thanks to the Father’s
Club for helping us with clean up, and thank you Art Gerckens for the banners
to help us get the word out!
Special thanks to Mrs.
Coppola for all her support, from helping us get our flyers in the parish
newsletters, to donating and decorating trees, saving us a trip to the store
and to the bank, cheering us on, and bringing her family and friends to enjoy the
festivities.
Tree and wreath raffles are still
available at Bingo until December 14th. Thanks
for supporting our school!
Heidi Maraucci & Suzanne Foley
