HELP WITH THE GATOR GATHERINGS

We are looking for generous GV families to host all types of Gator Gatherings - just for kids, for kids and parents, and, of course, parents only! You choose the theme, size, location, and ticket price (we can help with all of that!), and tickets will be sold at the Parent Party on December 1, 2018. All the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to GVPTA to support our school.

And you don't have to do it alone - get a few families together and throw an even bigger bash!

We've got some great Gator Gatherings already confirmed, but some of your favorites from last year are looking for new hosts - this includes:

* Parent only scavenger hunt (but this could be done with kids, too!)

* Roaring twenties party

And some new ideas we would love to make happen:

* Corn hole tournament

* Murder mystery dinner

* Wine tasting class

* Laser tag

If you might be interested in hosting any of these (or something else!), please email Rachel Tornek or Tommi Mann.
