John Rogers Elementary School, located at 4030 NE 109th in the Meadowbrook neighborhood, invites you to support their annual auction fund-raiser "Bravo" 2000! This years auction will be held on April 1, April Fool's Day, from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. at North Seattle Community College.

Once again, the wonderful NSCC Culinary Arts Department will prepare a delicious dinner while John Rogers' parents will prepare a delectable dessert buffet. All of this and fun to boot for just $15.00 per person. Advance reservations are required. Please contact the PTA reservation coordinator, Nancy, at 364-5080 to place your reservations.

Through this fund-raiser, the John Rogers PTA has had the pleasure of providing many wonderful enhancements for our school.

Last year's auction made it possible to purchase new risers for our music program, replacing the original risers that had been there since the school was built in 1957. Our library and our all-day Kindergarten class received new carpeting, our Art Enrichment Program purchased a new kiln, the Accelerated Reading Program received more funding and computers through the school were upgraded as well as money spent on other Technology issues.

If you or your business would like to help support our efforts your donations are gladly accepted and most appreciated. Please contact our PTA procurement coordinator, Terry, at 526-9108.

On behalf of the John Rogers' PTA, staff and students we extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous support. Thank you also for helping to build and strengthen our community.

Let's make it happen for our school and children!
