Carnival Auction Kick Off Meeting

BSCO is fundraisingwith our first auction this coming June.  Our financial goal is to replace the Mac Book computers for all teachers this year with a rough cost of $25,000. We have assembled a small but dedicated team of people to lead this effort….but will need more help as this project takes wing.  The scope of this year’s auction is a silent auction held during Carnival in June.

The kickoff meeting is February 7th, 7pm hosted by BSCO Board VP Stefan Longat his home.  Please contact him if you would like to get involved in this event.   Volunteers will work on putting together gift baskets by soliciting donations from families and businesses in our community, marketing the event to parents and community, and running the event.

Thanks for your support! / Carl Stall and Stefan Long /Stefan_Long@yahoo.com /cell: 503-475-0488

BSMArt Art Fair – Thursday, Feb 2nd, 6:00-8:30pm

Calling all Bonny Slope Students: dip your paintbrushes, sharpen your drawing pencils,grab your knitting needles, plan your Lego creations, dig into your clay! Our annual art festival, BSMArt (Bonny Slope Makes Art), is coming. You have at least two opportunities to show off your projects. Each class will display student work, AND kids can display artwork that they’ve done at home in the last year.  Parents – if you have a child who will attend Bonny Slope’s kindergarten next year, they are also welcome to share their creative wares.

Remember,“art” can be anything a kid creates. Here are just a FEW examples: a bag you sewed, a latch hook rug you completed, a woodworking project you worked on, a musical piece you wrote, a scarf you knitted or crocheted, drawings or paintings you’ve made, creatures made of Sculpey…the only limit is your imagination!!  The night of the BSMArt event, students and family members can jump into all sortsof fun. Creating Shrinky Dinks and making duct tape wallets are just some of what’s in store on February 2nd! Mark your calendar and get ready to have some creative fun!

Parents: we need volunteers to help make this event a success. Please check out our volunteer opportunities at: http://www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0F4FA4AF238-bsmart
