Congratulations Feline Football Moms!
October 20, 2009Congratulations Feline Football Teams! A talented group of Ralston moms powered through numerous football games to go undefeated and take the championship at Bergen Valley this weekend! A special thanks to Valerie Waltz, who organized the Ralston teams and school fundraiser, raising money for our school and kids.
The team trophy will be on display at school this week. Thank you also goes to the dads who coached our teams to success. Way to go, you powerful Ralston moms!
Feline Football Fundraiser Getting Underway
October 9, 2009If you haven’t heard by now, we have formed two Moms’ Football teams to help raise funds for Ralston. These moms and their coach have graciously volunteered their time to play in the Feline Football Tournament. They will play flag football for your school in this fun, family friendly event – playing against moms from other Evergreen area elementary schools on Sunday, October 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Graham Fields (Bergen Valley Elementary).
Ways to Help and Support Ralston for this event:
- Donated Items – do you have a prize to donate or know someone who does? If so, please contact Valerie Waltz as soon as possible so your item is available for the silent auction on game day.
- Please encourage your friends and family to sponsor Ralston’s teams by pledging per point. Any amount - 25¢ (or more) per point will be helpful. It is a great way for families to support this event if you are unable to attend.
- Tickets are available for the after party (including a full buffet) at Trinity Irish Pub; $10 for adults and $2 for kids – $7 out of that goes to the PTA. We need these tickets purchased ASAP so Trinity knows how much food to prepare.
Our moms that are playing on our two Ralston Teams:
- Fiesty Felines: Valerie Waltz, Linda McFarlin, Debbie Pykkonnnen, Karen Quanbeck, Laura Elliott, Sydney Beck, Jayme Sitzman, Heather Thompson, Sue Speyer, Jody Tucker, Erica Topel, Marci Grant, Katie Beach, Shelby Jackson
- Cozmo Kitties: Patty Telgener, Julie Abariotes, Jodi Kostelnik, Heather Schram, Chris Hudson, Jacquie Wicks, Lori Radcliffe, Molly Iskalis, Rachael Meis, Becky Bosch, Maryellen Mullarkey, Sherrie Lorenz
Bring the whole family! Come to Graham Fields anytime after 9:00 a.m. The championships are scheduled to start at 1:00 p.m. – so come to cheer and support your Ralston moms. Thank you for your generous support to benefit Ralston Elementary. Hope to see you there!
Carnival Needs Sponsorships and Volunteers
September 28, 2009Sponsorships
Do you run a small business? Know someone who does? Looking for a way to support Ralston Elementary? The carnival committee is in desparate need of sponsorships in order to offset some of the cost to run the carnival. The more we can get sponsored, the more of the profits go back to the school.
Consider becoming a sponsor. All sponsors have the option of setting up a table (manned or not) with their information and advertsing at the carnival. Some of the larger sponsorships include advertising in the November issue of the Ralston newsletter.
Volunteers
We’re looking for a few good parents to volunteer with us at the Carnival this Saturday, October 3. You’ll get to work the ticket table, run one of the activities or help the student leaders run one of the activities. We have slots to fill in all shifts: 10:00 – noon, noon – 2:00, 2:00 – 3:00 (includes clean-up). Having our parent volunteers assures us that all will run smoothly with the carnival. Please let us know if you can give of your time.
For those interested, please contact Kendi Thiede at kendithiede@hotmail.com. Thanks!
