COOKIE DONATIONS NEEDED - MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW
Do
you remember the night you and your student came to the Maggie Walker
information session? Do you remember how hungry you were by the time it
was over? Do you remember the inviting and delicious reception that followed
the event? Well, now is your chance to help others relive your
experience! The PTSA Hospitality Committee will be collecting packaged
cookies to use on November 14, 15 and 16 at the Prospective Student Night
events.
We
will be collecting your donations on Friday November
11 from 8-8:45 a.m. in the Concession stand just off the Blue
Stone lobby.
Just
send donations in with your student, or stop by yourself. Unfortunately we
can’t accept home-baked goods, but any other packaged treat is fine.

SENIOR CAPS AND GOWNS
Herff
Jones collected measurements for graduation caps and gowns on Thursday, October
27 during lunch. If your student was absent, please have them see Ms.
Sheppard in room 330. Students also received ordering information for
graduation announcements. Orders will be collected from Herff Jones
on Wednesday, November 9 and Thursday, November 10 in the first floor
commons during lunch. This will be the only time Herff Jones
collects these orders in the building. You may contact the vendor
directly at a later date, but all orders need to be placed before January
1 in order to ensure delivery in April. There is no guarantee that
there will be extra announcements available to order/purchase second
semester. Please contact Ms. Sheppard if you have questions - ksheppard@gsgis.k12.va.us or 804-354-6800
ext. 3304.
NIGHT
OF THE DRAGON 2017
Mark
your calendars, the 2017 “Night of the Dragon” is February 25,
2017 at the Short Pump Hilton! Come support Maggie Walker by joining
the committee to secure donations and then enjoy a wonderful night at the Short
Pump Hilton on February 25, 2017. The auction committee is
organizing to make the event a fun (and profitable) night out for Maggie Walker
parents, friends, alumni and staff.
The
committee has hundreds of leads and points of contact for wonderful donations;
too many to pursue all alone. On November 9 at 5:30 p.m. we will
meet at MLWGS in room 153 to provide leads and points of contact.
If making
contacts or placing calls not your thing but you have a good idea or can make a
donation – great! We are looking for sports packages, trips (vacation homes,
hotels, restaurants, etc), baskets, spirits, etc. - anything people will
desire enough to bid up the price.
Please
email auctionmlwgs@gmail.com with a short
description or call Peggy Feldmann at 804-517-8957 by November
9. We will get back to you as soon as possible to discuss arrangements.
The 2017
Auction Committee thanks you for your support.
HOLIDAY GIFT CARD ORDERS
It's
time to place holiday gift card orders! Sponsored by the MLWGS PTSA, this
easy-to-use fundraiser allows parents and other school supporters to purchase
gift cards for their favorite retail stores, hotels, gas stations, and
restaurants with MLWGS receiving a percentage of the sale. The MLWGS SCRIP card
is worth its full face value, costs nothing extra to the purchaser, and makes a
great holiday gift! There will be two opportunities this year to order gift
cards for the holidays. If you place your order by November 7, your gift
cards will be delivered on November 15. If you place your order
by November 28, your cards will be delivered December 6/7. Orders are due
to the SCRIP box in Valenta Williams' first floor office Room #100 by 2
p.m. each of the order dates. Order forms can be downloaded on the
MLWGS website by selecting "Support" and then "PTSA and Booster
Groups" or they can be picked up in Office #100. A full list of available
gift cards for purchase can be found by logging on to www.unitedscrip.com. If
you see something you want on the master list that isn't on our Maggie Walker
order form, you can write it in and we can get it for you.
