Annual Central School Fashion Show
Thursday, October 25th, 6:30 p.m., Tavistock Country Club
This annual ladies’ night out is the school’s most successful fundraiser. Mark your calendar now and plan to attend to have to dinner, watch Central School teachers and staff model town fashion on the runway, bid on donated auction items, and enter raffles to win classroom “baskets”.
Families in each child’s class donate items to the class baskets which end up being more than just baskets of goodies. These raffles are chock full of great items which in the past have included grill sets, kayaks, game systems and more that end up raising some serious money for the school and generate great excitement to the winners at the Fashion Show. These baskets, auction items and ticket sales generate 80% of our funds for the school year! It’s a fun night and a great opportunity to hang out with friends and meet new people, all while benefiting Central School!
This year’s Fashion Show theme is “Fashion & Fairytales” and our dedicated committee has been working hard the past several months to make it our best year yet. The Fashion Show relies on parent volunteers to plan and execute this fabulous event. Check out the PTA website for more information on specific ways to get involved.
