Donations of Gift Cards and Wine
The Guild is seeking donations of gift cards and wine bottles for raffles at International Day. Ideal gift cards include those from culturally diverse restaurants and stores—think of your go-to Greek or Indian eateries, or perhaps a beloved German or Italian market and more. We also welcome wine donations representing various countries. The Parents’ Guild will collect these donations directly from your car window during drop-off along the driveway on Friday, April 12, from 8:00 to 8:45 AM.
