No problem! I just sent them to Laurel & Nicky!:)
 
Funny, I was searching just today. There was some that I had seen on here a long time ago that I wanted to find. Luckily, I had a hard copy of one that gave me a hint. Search "Seton" and some fantastic fundraising info is attached. Just remember to delete the "Seton Catholic School" icon on the letter!
 
Here's Mine....Here is mine to go home tomorrow at my preschool in packets for each family. PLEASE CRITIQUE. I would love to "jazz" up the last paragraph a little without getting too wordy. I want them to read it! I am enclosing the new "apron" flyer on here and the Feb OOF with the prices on the back...also the March/April host specials on one flyer.
