Touchdown! A big thank you to all our Selwyn families, volunteers, teachers, staff and vendors who made this year’s event another great success. We loved seeing the large crowd at the event and hope you enjoyed it. A special thank you to those who purchased raffle tickets, made bids on the blind auction items, ordered pizza and purchased football tickets to cheer on the Mustangs. Much of the raised money goes to pay for the event itself. All profit goes right back to the PTA to support our children and wonderful Selwyn teachers and staff!
