80’s FLASHBACK
Do you remember these lyrics?
“Wake me up before you GO-GO…” or “Because your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance well they’re no friends of mine…”
If you do, you must be a kid/teenager from the 80’s! Our apologies to those who will now have these songs in their heads for the next 24 hours.
PROCUREMENT
The next procurement turn-in is TOMORROW – WEDNESDAY, February 8th during morning drop-off at the flag pole. Look for our 7th & 8th grade volunteers, dressed in their best 80’s outfits; they will happily collect your procurement forms, bottles of wine, donation checks and physical items. We will accept auction procurement items until March 3rd.
As an added incentive, anyone who has dropped off their auction procurement items by February 8th (TOMORROW) will be entered into a raffle for $50 in Scrip of their choice. This means everyone who has dropped off their items since November will be entered into the raffle.
Remember to check which businesses have been approached and add your own to the list: https://auction.st-johnschool.org/procurement-list/
