Dear Parents,
The School Parent Council is planning a Teacher Appreciation lunch for Tuesday, June 24, 2008 in BLA’s upper cafeteria. We expect about 110 guests, including teachers, administrators and support staff. We need volunteers to plan for or help with the following:
Decorations - 12-15 round table cloths and 12-15 center pieces.
Sandwiches - finger sandwiches, wrap sandwiches, small sandwiches (any kind). We need 3-4 sandwiches per person; that’s about 330-440 small sandwiches. (Of course, we expect several people to volunteer for this one. If you can get a donation from your local supermarket, that would be great. If you need a letter form the SPC, let me know.)
Salads - macaroni salad, green salad, potato salad, fruit salad, tabouli, etc.
Snacks - individual bags of chips, pretzels, etc. - 125 or so
Water - 120 bottles of water
Beverages - 120 juice drinks or soda; If you decide to donate these, please bring them to the school a day or two in advance so we can get them cooled in the refrigerator. Liters/gallons of soda or juice are fine too.
Desserts - cookies, brownies, bars
Hot coffee and milk/cream - for about 25 people
Paper plates - 220 lunch size paper plates and 220 dessert size
Napkins - 250 napkins
Plastic utensils - 2 forks/person, 1 spoon and 1 knife/person
Paper cups - 25-30 hot cups for coffee - if you are donating soda, please bring cold cups too.
Setup and serving - Let me know if you can commit to come on the 24th.
Goody bags for 100 - We need someone to take care of buying small gift certificates and lottery tickets for each teacher. The SPC will provide $5/teacher but if you can get donations, all the better. Sue Low has volunteered for this.
Items for a Free Raffle - Last year people donated gift certificates, a Red Sox chair, and a baby rocker which we raffled off. They were a bit hit.
Other - Did I forget anything? Is there something you would like to make/do that isn’t on the list? Let me know.
Please help in any way that you can. If you can donate part of an item, we’re happy to accept. Anything you can do is valuable. Please call or e-mail me as soon as possible to let me know how you can help. Thank you so much.
