The 2017 O’Hara Elementary School Great Gift Basket Give Away is almost here! We need all your enthusiasm to make this year another success. Baskets will be in each classroom on March 6th and will be collected on Friday, March 17th.

Gift Basket Guidelines are as follows:

  • Each class (32 total) will be given a theme. The class is asked to put together a gift basket on that theme.
  • The PTO requests that students bring donations of NEW items (specific to their selected theme) to their classroom, where collection baskets will be provided.
  • Donations DO NOT need to be expensive, but something a child would enjoy receiving. For example, if your child had “Movie Night,” you could donate movie passes, popcorn, a DVD, etc.
  • Begin sending in donations on March 6th, up until March 16th. The baskets will be assembled on March 17th.
  • Tickets will be sold the week of March 20th – 24th. Winners will be announced on March 27th.
  • Each student will receive one free ticket.
  • Parents, staff, and students may purchase tickets: 1 for $1, 12 for $10, and 30 for $20.
