Please feel free to be creative. Donations can include but are not limited to:
    * chocolate snacks    *chocolate/dessert cookbooks
    * chocolate drink mixes/coffee    * scented candles
    * novelty chocolate decorations    * chocolate books or movies

ANY chocolate inspired item will make our basket a great success.

The fourth grade is also looking for volunteers to help us with our game booth during the Fall Fest celebration. Any amount of time you can spare to help us supervise the fun event would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know below if you think you can help, even for a small amount of time.
