Christmas Trees still for sale THIS Saturday

December 02, 2011

 Dear Odyssey Families,

As most of you know, we planned to sell fresh Christmas Trees at the fundraiser this Saturday. Although we had to postpone the fundraiser until next Saturday (the 10th), the Christmas Trees have already been delivered.

If you would like to purchase a tree, Carlos will be opening the campus from 9am-11am on Saturday (tomorrow, the 3rd). You may come between those times and purchase a fresh tree.

The trees run between $35 and $70. We can take checks (made out to Odyssey Charter School) and cash. We cannot take credit cards. You must pay in full at the time of pickup.

If you planned to purchase a Tree, we encourage you to come tomorrow (if possible).

We do plan to water and store the trees on campus during the week. Any remaining trees will be sold at the fundraiser next week.

Please email Erin at eringamble74@gmail.com with any questions.

Thank you!
