What an awesome set of Children we have at PHE!!!
We only have 63 of our 135 children selling candy bars so far for our spring fundraiser, but let me tell you they are definitely ROCKIN it!!!
If your child sent back a payment envelope and it was not signed to send another box back this evening, I did not send one. If you require another box, please send a note with your child tomorrow!!!
If you haven't signed up to sell yet and still want too, either call me (Saundra) or send a written permission slip with name address phone number and email on it so i can get your child in the system.
HAPPY FUNDRAISING!!!
