Class Baskets

We are trying something different this year!
Change is hard, but change can be good too! This year we will be holding an online auction starting March 23rd and ending March 26th.

In order to make this event a success, we need the help and support of the many amazing parents, friends and families of our Hershey students. Items need to be sent by March 20th.

We are asking each elementary class to put together a themed basket for our silent auction.

Classroom Basket Themes

PK/TK – Backyard adventure/Summer fun
Kinder – Gardening
1st – Country/Farmhouse
2nd – Sports/Huskers
3rd – Ultimate Mom’s Night Off/Spa day
4th – Backyard BBQ/Picnic
5th – Arts & Crafts
6th – Gift cards

Excited to partner with:
Isabell Auction Service
Licensed & bonded

We greatly appreciate your donations to the class baskets to help make the online auction a success!

🐾 Thank you!

We have made it through the month of February and longer days with warmer temperatures are in front of us! Staff and students alike have done a great job being flexible and making it through the month of February. We had an ever changing schedule, semi-unpredictable weather to navigate, and the always present grind of the month of February. Staff and students alike did a great job navigating all of this and we now get to turn the page to the month of March and all the great opportunities this month brings! 

Please be aware of a couple of items I included in the newsletter this month. First, I have included some reminders for upcoming activities in the months of March, April, and May that will be here before we know it. Second, I have included some reminders for the Class of 2026. With the second semester well underway, the clock is ticking for application, scholarships, and graduation requirements.  Lastly, I have included the link to the list of activities for the month of March. Spring sports kick off this month, so as we get closer to the end of the month there will be a number of activities the Panthers will be taking part in!
