Decoration Loaners needed for Auction
This lovely photo is the inspiration for our auction decor.  We are attempting to create an atmosphere in the gym something like the adjacent photo for auction night.
To aid in our endeavors, we are seeking strings of white icicle lights, and large potted plants—real or faux—like palms, and dracaenas. If you have lights to loan us–and wish them returned–please wrap them with a piece of tape and your name. If just want to get rid of them, leave them unmarked. Lights can be dropped off in Troy’s office.
We promise to take good care of your potted plants while they are visiting—they can be left in the Staff Lounge anytime Thursday or Friday morning. Make sure your name is on them somewhere.
Thank-you for your help,
Steller 9th Grade Class.
