A catered breakfast, a rummage sale, raffles and a bake sale — all on Nov. 19 from 8 a.m. – 11 a.m. at the Oracle Union Church in Trowbridge Hall. Proceeds from all except the rummage sale will go toward helping various Oracle School programs. Rummage sale monies go to the historic Union Church and some of those also are contributed over the year to community members in need.
On the menu this year is a choice of regular, vegetarian or vegan quiche, a fruit kabob and a homemade donut. It’s catered by Oracle Patio Cafe, but since an anonymous donor has contributed the catering cost, your entire payment goes to the school fund, as does the raffle money and the bake sale money. Breakfast is still only $5.00 each for 13 and over and $3.50 for ages 6 – 12. Under that, it’s free. No advance tickets will be sold their year, so please come early to be sure you get a ticket.
Just outside the door, a rummage sale will be set up and you can come at 7:30 for that.
Inside, several items, including a 91″ x 91” batik quilt made by Suzette Thatcher (see picture) will be raffled off. Bake sale goods include the old favorite peanut brittle and, this year, peanut butter brittle. Don’t forget your small bills and change for those.
This year money will go to one or more programs at the Oracle School (depending on how much is raised), including:
• The Garden Program where the children are taught to plant gardens and learn science, teamwork and responsibility. The program needs seeds, pots, soil and tools.
• Playground toys for K-4 and junior high board games.
• Gift cards to allow teachers to get supplies for art projects or whatever they need in the classroom.
• The Positive Behavior Intervention program where positive behaviors are given points and then recognized with items given specifically for the child.
• For the library, a remote to use with the Smart Board.
