A Mexican Fiesta Basket

If you have not sent in a donation for our auction basket, we need it by Tuesday of next week. If the MPTO raises enough money from this years auction they plan to purchase Elmo Projectors for the 9-12 and 12-15 classrooms, new whiteboards for 6-9, new benches for car line, a dishwasher for 3-6, science materials for all levels, and a color copier for all levels to use. These are the items the staff has asked for to enhance the educational level of their classrooms.

Our basket theme is "A Mexican Fiesta". Items you could send in are; Candy for the pinata the students are making for the basket, a mexican cd, Colorful plates, a string of chili pepper lights, colorful glasses, Mexican bowls, a fajita set, tortilla warmer, an arepa maker, tortilla press, etc.
