Silent Auction Prizes

The PTO has asked that the 3rd grade collect Barbie and Hot Wheels items for our "grade level' basket for the silent action. The silent auction will take place during the Patriot Marketplace days next week. So far we only have 2 items for our class basket. I am offering 5 bonus points to every student who brings in one Barbie or Hot Wheels item for our basket. I will allow the students to choose what test they want the 5 points added to. Please help fill our basket!!!!!!
