Update for 3/4/23

Hello FOVA family,
We hope that everyone is well and handling this rainy weather with safety, hot chocolate and looking forward to being dry. There’s only three class sessions left, so let’s continue strong with our commitment and finish with a proud gallery presentation on March 28th.
Here is an update on the Gift Card Giving tree:
“Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather last Saturday, we were unable to sell raffle tickets in-person for the Gift Card Giving Trees.
The good news is that we will be selling in-person raffle tickets next Saturday. We
will be extending the deadline indefinitely so that families have more time to purchase tickets to win!”
We will also be selling T-Shirts in person, so please stop by in person this coming Saturday to purchase your T-Shirts (if you haven’t done so already) and tickets for the Gift Card giving Tree!!
Here is also a list of donations needed for the students:
Cup-O-Noodles, chicken and shrimp
Capri Suns
Hot Cheetos and all other flavors of chips
Sodas – Sprite and Coke
Fruit Roll Ups
Madeleines
We truly appreciate you being part of this wonderful program. Your efforts are noticed and we are very thankful for your generosity!!

What is a “Gift Card Giving Tree”?
We are raffling off two (2) decorative LED tabletop “Gift Card Giving Trees”, each
adorned with over $240 worth of gift cards in various denominations to some of your
favorite stores and restaurants. For each separate raffle, you win both the tree and the
gift cards that are attached!
At FOVA.org, you can view a photo of each “Gift Card Giving Tree” along with a
description of the gift cards included with each tree.
How much are raffle tickets?
Raffle tickets are 1 ticket for $5, or 5 tickets for $20.

Weekly Donations

Our FOVA Snacks table is a stable and reliable means of food and beverage options for our kids at the Conservatory of Arts. While providing the students with something to munch on during break, the proceeds from the sale goes directly into student scholarships and art supplies for the classroom. On a weekly basis we go through a lot of food and there are regular favorites that are needed. We ask that as parents, if you can possibly donate these regularly needed items:

Cup-O-Noodles – chicken, beef and shrimp

Chips – all variety, flavors, spicy, 1 to 2 oz bags

Any single serving packaged sweets (Fruit roll ups, cookies, rice crispies, etc..  )

Drinks – 16 or 8 oz bottles of water, all flavor juice pouches and boxes

Plastic forks, napkins, 12 oz Styrofoam cups

Thank you for making The Conservatory of Arts a truly special place for our students. We hope to provide them with a wonderful experience week after week by providing refreshments that they can look forward to during their breaks. We truly appreciate all your help, generosity, and dedication to this amazing program.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
