Stacey Henke, who is the unofficial Chancellor of the Neighborhood and Prime Minister of Signal Hill School, wanted to have a rummage sale to raise money for the track. We have a new track, thanks to previous fundraising efforts, but now we need other stuff like a long jump pit, hurdles, and whatever else track-and-fielders need to do their sport.
And as we know, if you want to have a rummage/yard/garage sale in this neck of the woods you need to involve Nancy and Laura! She roped us in as helpers and somehow we rose to the top and are now in charge. Luckily, we freakin' love it!
After a few emails, a backpack flyer, and a sentence on the school marquee (the standard marketing tools of any PTO operative) we have a gym stage FULL of crap. Big, black garbage bags full of clothes. Boxes of books. A pet cage. Two vinyl bean bags. Seasonal wreaths. Old Tupperware. Bikes. Probably some owl figurines and a Gail Sheehy self-help book. The usual stuff.
But what lies beneath the usual stuff? What treasure waits to be discovered under cardboard and dust? Will we uncover a taxidermied animal? Some rustic wooden objects? A round metal circle with holes?!
Tune in Saturday...
