*Books & Bingo:
Falcon Ridge will be hosting a Books & Bingo night on Feb 9th from 6 to 8pm.
This event will host Bingo, a Silent Auction as well as a Raffle (and of course lots of fun!!). We have been able to secure AMAZING donations from around the Treasure Valley for our Raffle. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for some sneak peeks leading up to the event.
Each Classroom has a themed basket that will be part of the Silent Auction. Each student is asked to donate at least one item for their classroom basket if able to do so.
Pre Orders are available for this event up until Feb 7th. Pizza is part of the Pre Order ONLY. Bingo Cards as well as Raffle Tickets will be more at the door. Please write your child's name and grade level on the pre order form. If ordering pizza, please specify if you want cheese or pepperoni.
