A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO MADE THE TRICKY TRAY A SUCCESS!!
Saturday night was an absolute blast. We couldn't have done it without YOU! Thank you to everyone who came out in their 80s attire and decorated tables. To those who participated in our 50/50 raffle and basket auction-thank you! We hope everyone loves the prizes that they won!
And of course, a HUGE thank you to the Tricky Tray Team for their exceptional efforts- Carolanne Sherwood, Missy Mest and Stacey Rutski!! None of this could have happened without you. Your dedication and planning to make this the largest fundraiser that the HSA hosts is appreciated beyond words! A special shout out to Laura Terranova for working to procure a multitude of baskets donated for the event! Thank you also to all the families that contributed to the class baskets. These were all amazing prizes! Without the many, many volunteers helping with procuring basket donations, helping package the baskets, filling the swag bags, bus drivers helping to transport the baskets, setting up the event, working the event and cleaning up afterwards - the event would not have been such a success! We really do appreciate each and every single one of YOU!!
Thank you to the Readington School District for all of your support throughout. Last but definitely not least, we have many sponsors that we truly appreciate. Please support the local businesses that are highlighted in this video.
On behalf of the entire EC - Thank you again, Kristin McHale, Readington HSA President
