I sent off $1,621.00 worth on Monday. We already had $400.00 submitted earlier this year, making our grand total for this year, $2,021.00. It is record for SMV!! A big thank you to Laurie and Maddie Kalmer, Therese Pickart, Sara and Lauren Sinense and Amy Sosnay (who stayed til the bitter end). The snowball contest was a huge success and the kids had fun. The most snowballs thrown was Mr. Falk's classroom, (thanks to Jessie Bopp and his mother). Thank you so much. We hope to have another great snowball fight next year!
