From the Heart fundraiser auction baskets

MPA's school wide concert, From the Heart, is quickly approaching and will take place on Thursday, February 23rd. With this event comes our need for themed classroom basket donations to be used as raffle and auction items. For those of you who are new to the process, here is a quick overview. Each class homeroom is assigned a theme in which the room parents work with parents within your homeroom class to compile donations ($5+) that fall under your class theme. 

 

BELOW is a list of class themes which the homeroom baskets should represent. If you have another idea for a basket that you feel would work better, please let me know.
