The Silent Auction opens Friday evening from 7-9 p.m. and will continue Saturday morning from 7:45 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. We have over 100 vendor baskets, 50 school features and many exciting “experiences” that the silent auction committee has been busy putting together for you this year! From an adorable Goldendoodle rescue puppy, to a private clinic with the George Ranch cheerleaders to a 2-night stay at a Rockport vacation home… there really is something for everyone. The “Buy It Now” option and bidding begins on Friday evening. Look for the 3rd Annual Bunny Hop on FaceBook for more Silent Auction updates throughout the week.

We appreciate all of those who have been participating in raffle ticket sales over the last two weeks. Proceeds from the raffle will benefit your students, teachers and school! All raffle tickets are due tomorrow, so please return tickets stubs, money and any unsold tickets to your child’s teacher. We will be awarding the class with the highest number of raffle tickets sold with their choice of either 1 hour in the gaming lab, 1 hour of extra recess or 1 hour of free gym time, so sell as many tickets as you can! Raffle tickets will be available for purchase on the morning of the Fun Run and the winning tickets will be drawn at the close of the Post Race Party. You do not need to be present to win.

If you have not yet registered for the fun run, you can register online through Friday, February 17th or at any of the packet pickup locations. Packet pickup times:

Tuesday, February 21st – Campbell lobby (7:30 a.m. – noon and 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.)
Thursday, February 23rd – Finish Line Sports near Gerlands (10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.)
Friday, February 24th – Campbell lobby (7:30 a.m. – noon)
Race day – 6:00 a.m. – 9:15 a.m.

Show your fun run spirit! Be sure to stop by and pick up your child’s race shirt tomorrow so that they can wear it to school on Wednesday and Friday of this week.

It is time once again to recruit volunteers to serve on the 2012-2013 PTA Board. Serving on the PTA Board is a rewarding experience. Not only is it a chance to help enrich your child’s educational experience, but it is also a way to meet and work with other Campbell parents.

There are 14 positions on the PTA Board comprised of 6 officers and 8 chairmen. The specific titles are as follows:
Officers: President, Vice President of Fundraising, Vice President of Student Services, Treasurer, Secretary and Parliamentarian.
Chairmen: Membership Chairman, Online/Publicity Chairman, Volunteer Coordinator, Yearbook Chairman, Programs/5th Grade Coordinator, Room Parent Coordinator, Teacher Appreciation Chairman, and Spring Fundraiser Coordinator.

If you are interested in serving in any of these board positions, you can submit your name to the Nominating Committee at info@campbellpta.org by March 15, 2012. Please put “PTA Board” in the subject line. The Nominating Committee will submit their recommendation for Board Officers to the PTA membership at the annual meeting in April.

Congratulations to Mrs. Hicks’ first grade class for collecting the most labels (Box Tops, Campbell’s Labels for Education and Tyson Project A+) in December. Mrs. Hicks’ class won a Game Day in the Gaming Lab for their efforts!

The next collection period from the classroom is the week of January 30th – February 3rd. The class that collects the most labels for this period will also win a day in the Gaming Lab. Feel free to send your labels in earlier if that is easier. Teachers will collect and save them.

Campbell Parents: Please keep a lookout for raffle tickets coming home in your child’s Tuesday folder January 31st. The Fun Run is just around the corner and we are asking all Campbell PTA members to help raise funds by selling raffle tickets 1 for $5, 3 for $10. We have some wonderful raffle items this year, thanks to our generous families, realtors and local businesses. For questions, please contact Lauren Beheler at Laurenrbeheler@hotmail.com
