UPDATE!!!

I delivered all the stuff this morning and the principal was really happy although he did call me crazy but in a good way .

He was down to his last box of foam craft shapes so the timing was great. They didn't seem to have many art supplies . Anyhoo I rushed over to Target this morning and cleared them out of all the rest of the crafts and some bags for the Parents committee and the daycare who I spoke to and she said they could use gift bags for when the kids take home crafts to their parents. Another $60 ish worth. Will post pics. in a bit.

So in the pics. there are hundreds of bags and the red polka dot ones could also be used for Valentines day if they want to remove the snowman cause it's just attached by a ribbon. The "lunch bags" will be used on Popcorn day The school has a popcorn maker in the cafeteria.


The xmas paper plates are mine and I also got gingerbread man cake mold (not pictured)

Nice update.
Well, you gave the rest of the shoppers enough time to get their loot and they didn't. So more for you!

*sigh* wish my school had popcorn day too, when I was a kid *sigh*
