Thank you for a record breaking Holiday Extravaganza event

Thanks to our fantastic volunteers, donors and attendees, we raised a record $3,260.65 at this year's event!

We GREATLY appreciate all the hard work done by Thorp families, students, friends and staff before, during and after the event. It was a lot of work, but definitely a lot of fun too. And, with the addition of the Cookie Walk and Elf (the movie) it was even bigger and better than last year. We hope everyone is enjoying their trees, wreaths, crafts and cookies and that our event got you into the spirit of the holidays.

There are so many people to thank, including:

• Our Tree Sale Crew for braving the weather to sell trees and wreaths.
• The Crafters - all of whom had amazing items to sell.
• The Bakers - all of the cookies and treats at the Cookie Walk were delicious!
• Thorp Teachers, Room Parents and Students for the wonderful holiday crafts.
• Mrs. McDaniel and the 3rd and 4th grade students for the lovely carols.
• Our Santas (Mr. Ryder and John Paul) for spreading joy to the children.
• Thorp PTA for sponsoring the movie and setting up a lovely table.
• The Thorp 7th graders for face painting and the 8th graders for manning the much-needed hot cocoa bar and walking around in those crazy elf and tree outfits!
• Gen-Ki Karate for their kickin' martial arts demonstration.
• Student Helena Patchak for taking awesome event photos.
• And, last but not least, Principal Toledo, the Thorp staff, and all our volunteersfor their dedication to Thorp and our children. 

Now that this event is through, don't forget to mark your calendars for our next event - the biggest event of the school year - Taste of Thorp, Friday, April 24, 2015.
