50th Annual Holiday Boutique
THANK YOU to our Lindbergh staff, parents and community members for once again making the Lindbergh PTA Holiday Boutique a great success. Final Holiday Boutique numbers will be shared at the general PTA meeting on 11/29, but we are ecstatic to share that thanks to all of you, we exceeded our goal!
We were also able to exceed our Raffle Ticket fundraiser goal this year, thanks to the contributions of our wonderful Lindbergh families and community members. Since we topped our goal, the PTA will not host any additional selling fundraisers this school year.
ALL cash raffle ticket proceeds go right to our school, teachers, and students. We use these proceeds to fund our PTA activities such as Bingo for Books, Field Day, Fun Fair, Teacher/Staff appreciation, special treats for students, and other activities throughout the year. Your amazing support helps keep enrichment activities fun, educational, engaging, and affordable for our Lindbergh community.
On Saturday, November 11th we hosted over 50 artisan crafters, raffled off amazing baskets and monetary amounts, ate delicious savory and baked treats and had a blast hanging out with friends and community members at this festive event!
First and foremost, we want to thank our beyond fabulous Holiday Boutique team: Brandy Ahmed (Boutique Chair), Genevieve Rahman (co-Chair), Jessica Corbin (Kitchen/Refreshment Chair) and Siham Gellani (Bake Sale Chair). This event takes A LOT of planning - our HB team starts planning this event beginning in January for the next school year. An additional thank you to our photographers - Yasmine Hicks and Maryem Hojeij!
An enormous thank you to our Lindbergh staff, parent and community member volunteers and donors for all of your festive help this year, we couldn’t do it without you!
