Hopefully you have all heard and are saving the date for Roberts Rendezvous!  It is one of our two annual fundraisers hosted by the PTA.  This year we are having a Casino Theme and it will be held at Pleasant Valley on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 6pm.  We will have Live Artist Ellen Hobgood and a Photo Booth to capture all of the great memories!!!  For those of you new to school, Roberts Rendezvous is a live and silent auction (adults only) to help raise money for our school and its programs and activities.  Some of the events funded include Accelerated Reading Programs, Field Day, Grandparent’s Day, Math and Literacy Carnival, Club Funding, and putting books in the hands of each of our students and many more.  

This year as part of the Silent Auction we are compiling Class Baskets.  Each class will be assigned a theme and we are asking parents to donate an item to put together to make a basket.  The room moms will take those items and assemble them for the auction.  Below the class themes are listed as well as suggestions or ideas for basket.  There are many items that range in price so you can donate something that works with your budget.  No donation is too big or too small, AND it doesn't have to fit or be presented in an actual basket, so get creative!!!  The idea is that everyone pitches in a little and then you have a whole lot!  

All items need to be turned in to Room Parents by Monday, December, 2nd!!!  You can send these via your child's backpack to be given to your child's teacher.  The Room Parent will then get with the teacher to collect the items.  Make sure to include the value of the item so that we can determine the value of the combined basket.  Please make sure to communicate with your Room Parent so that nothing gets lost in transportation!  If you have a bigger item it can always be left in the Parent Center with identification for your Room Parent to pick up.  

Please stick with the theme you are assigned but the items are just suggestions to get you started…HAVE FUN WITH IT!


Hardin-Gift Card Basket- GIFT CARDS to anywhere or for anything!!!  Restaurants, Apple, your favorite store, Barnes & Noble, Grocery Store, Wal-Mart, Salon/Spa, etc.



If you or someone you know would like to volunteer, please contact me!  I can find the perfect spot for you!  We are happy to see new faces.  It takes a village to make this event happen and we need you.  We are still accepting business sponsors and auction donations. Can't wait to meet you at Rendezvous!


Thanks Roberts Families!!
