4 Yr. Pictures TODAY

4 Year old Class Pictures are today.

ALSO:  a reminder from our Sunshine Mom – Mellissa Divitto.

Save the date Thurs. March 31st at 9:30am at the Sunshine School on Dutcher Ave.  I will be doing a fundraiser for a 3 year old little boy who lives in the community of Pawling. His name is Ty Campbell & Ty has a very rare & aggressive form of cancer. He is a very strong & inspiring little boy & his parents Cindy & Lou Campbell have started a blog at http://www.tylouisblogspot.com . Please if you can, take the time to read his story.  I am reaching out to community members & business owners to make a donation & to also join me at the fundraiser. I will have some great items to be raffled off such as a Vera Bradley tote bag & accessories, free ski rentals for next season from the Ski Haus, gift certificates to various restaurants, delis, nail salon, handmade jewelry. Raffle tickets are only $2.00 a piece for each item. Bid on what you want as many times as you would like.  I will be serving some snacks & coffee. Ms. Karen from the Pawling Library has volunteered to do a story time at 9:30 for anyone who has children who are not in school at that time & also Ms. Tara from The Book Cove will be doing a story time at 12:15. The children at the Sunshine school will be doing their part by doing a pajama day fundraiser. Their parents make a donation & the children get to wear their pajamas to school. Please join us if you can it is really for a wonderful cause & your donation is so greatly appreciated.  Also anyone that can not make it to the fundraiser & wants to purchase a ticket for any of the items that are being raffled can email me & I will make arrangements with you.

Thank you

Pajama Day Fundraiser

The Sunshine School will be having a fundraiser on March 23rd and 24th to help raise money for a beautiful and inspiring 3 year old boy who lives in the community of Pawling.  Ty has a very rare form of aggressive cancer called extra renal rhaboid tumor. We are doing a very simple fundraiser to help raise money to ease some of Ty’s medical expenses.  If you wish to participate,  simply put $3.00 in an envelope marked Pajama Day Donation and give it to your child’s cubby room teacher.  On that day, the children will attend school in their PJ’s!

The money will be picked up at the end of the 2 day fundraiser and delivered to the Campbell family in the name of the Sunshine School children, parents and staff.

Fore more on Ty’s battle to “beat up” cancer, please visit his parent’s blog at http://www.tylouis.blogspot.com.  Please take some time to read this amazing little boy’s story.

Thank you so much for your generosity.
