Dear Acorn Families and Friends,
You may know that The Acorn is a non-profit school, and we operate on a deficit every year. As a result, we have one major fundraiser from which we hope to raise the majority of money to cover that deficit. Since last year's Fiesta FUNraiser was so successful, we decided to make it a family fun event again. This Fiesta themed event will have different family pass options, individual admission tickets, raffle tickets, an auction, and much more!
• Raffle tickets available at $5, $10, and $25. Great prizes at each level! Purchase beforehand online by clicking here, in the office, or at the event. Drawing will be held the Monday following the event. You can stop by the office to pick up as many physical raffle tickets as you want, if you want to try to sell them to family members or friends at the office, etc.
• Food Booths with offerings from various area favorite restaurants! (included with your Family Pass admission)
• Silent Auction located inside the Kindergarten wing during the event: this year our auction will also be online! All auction items will be available for bidding on the event.gives/acorn site. We will be featuring class projects and teacher outings, as well as dinners, overnights, favorite memorabilia, jewelry, photography packages, and lots more!
• Wine Pull! For a $20 Adult ticket, you are able to use it at the wine pull, where you are almost guaranteed to take home a bottle of wine valued at $20 or more. In the past we have awarded bottles of wine valued over $50, $80, and even $100!
• Student Photo Wall! Families take home their child’s photo in exchange for an adult ticket.
• Playground kid activities -Rocket launchers, spin art, hat making, face painting, book pull, toy walk, bouncy house, petting zoo, pony rides, etc.
