The deadline for donating to our LE PTO online auction has been extended to Monday, February 17th! Which means there’s still a chance to send in your delivery donations or hosting donations — here are some of the great offerings we’ve received so far:
– private yoga lessons
– a commissioned piece of artwork
– hand-decorated cupcakes
– belly dancing class
– movie outing at West Newton Cinema
– Israeli brunch delivered to the winner
– quilted baby blanket
– German language lessons
– hand-painted silk scarves
– pizza and movie playdate
– 3-layer carrot cake
– homemade ice cream delivery
– homemade tiramisu
As a reminder, possible delivery donation ideas could be:
• Gifting a meal – this could be a homemade dish you are famous for, or a traditional meal that you love to make
• Cake delivery – make your best cake and give to the highest bidder
• Wine delivery – gift your favorite bottles of wine to the winner
• Handmade items – if you have a hobby like knitting or pottery, let us auction off one of your pieces!
• Special talents – Rubik’s cube lessons, flower arranging, tax help, language lessons, dog-walking. You name it!
And for hosting donations, you decide the number of guests, and bidders purchase a spot at your gathering. Please note, these spots are only open to the children in your child’s class or grade — you may specify. You are donating your time by organizing and providing the materials and space for the event.
Feel free to be creative, but some ideas include:
• Hosting a playdate for 3-5 classmates with a theme – crafts, cooking, science, outdoors, etc.
• Host a movie or video game night at your house with popcorn
• Hosting a parents’ or moms’ night out with drinks and appetizers at your house
Please email your Room Connector or president@lepto.org with the details of your donation. (Please be as descriptive as possible in any food-based donations to keep in mind the buyers who may have allergy and dietary restrictions.) Thank you so much for your help and support for our school! Our online auction will begin on March 23rd — keep an eye out for the link in this newsletter and on www.lepto.org!
