The most important news and events for the week of February 27 – March 5th, 2017:
LOTS of things are happening this week!
McCall’s 5th Annual Casino Night & Silent Auction will take place on the evening of Saturday, May 20th at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown!! Please mark your calendars and spread the word! Our Auction Website will be evolving, but here it is!
This event is our school’s largest fundraiser of the year! Last year we raised over $40,000! This adult-only community event unites parents, teachers, and neighbors as we all celebrate and support McCall! Our event includes food, drinks, live music, a huge silent auction, and more! Ticket prices include gambling chips and you may redeem the chips for raffle boards. With the raffle tickets, you can win neat prizes!
The biggest thing we need help with in advance is collecting silent auction items and securing event sponsors. Our Silent Auction includes a range of items including restaurant gift certificates, theme park admission, sporting event tickets, kids’ programs, and salon packages. Securing the donations is easier than you would think, and fun, too. Just keep the forms handy and whenever you frequent a neighborhood establishment in the coming weeks, ask them if they would please support your child’s Philadelphia public school’s upcoming silent auction.
Please use this informational letter and this donation form when gathering your donations. Items for the silent auction may also be donated online, here.
This month’s Dress Down Day will take place on Friday, March 3rd.
The theme is Rainbow Day — wear as many colors as you can!
As always, participating students should give $1 to their homeroom teachers.
Participation will be tracked for Blue & Gold Day in June!
Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 16th from 5 to 7 PM for a Parent Workshop Night!
McCall will host sessions of interest to various grade levels.
A parallel free and supervised movie will run so that parents may easily attend.
Stay tuned for details.
