4 SCS ASKS FOR YOU FAIR 2017 INFO Dear SCS Family, We hope this gets you excited about the parish fair. While the ultimate goal of the fair is to raise money for our parish and school, we hope that you will begin to appreciate that the fair is also about coming together as a community. SCS ASKS FOR YOU fair will take place on Friday, October 20, Saturday, October 21 & Sunday, October 22. Many of our fair booths are dependent on your generous donations. This offers all of our families the opportunity to give either monetary donations or item donations or a combination of both. We have put a dollar value on donations needed for specific booths. It is your choice to decide in which manner you choose to participate. If you choose to donate monetarily, you can make your donation through our online web site ( at any time. If you choose to send in Confetti Egg Booth items or Basket Bonanza Booth items (LSU/Saints/Pelican stuff and gift cards), please put them in a bag that is labeled with your child s name and homeroom number so proper credit can be given. While participation is strictly voluntary, please remember 100 % of our fair proceeds go directly to the school. All of the work before, during, and after the fair is done by volunteers-you! We need our entire community to take part in this worthwhile endeavor. Just a few reminders: The next Fair Dress Down Days will be Friday, October 6; Friday, October 13 and Friday, October 20. The Fair Booth Coordinator meeting will be held on Tuesday, September 19 in the Cafeteria at 6:30 p.m. We thank you in advance for your hard work and your continued support. We are looking forward to a fantastic weekend. Nicole Surcouf Fair Chair 2017 Dimps2582@gmail.com Alissa Adam Fair Co-Chair 2017 alama28@aol.com
