BOUTIQUE FANTASTIQUE TO GO AHEAD ON WEEKEND.


Byline: Carol Rock Staff Writer

SAUGUS - Despite ongoing construction at Saugus High School Saugus High School may refer to:
  • Saugus High School (California)
  • Saugus High School (Massachusetts)
, the 15th annual Boutique Fantastique will go on this weekend.

Dozens of Saugus High graduates got their first financial boost from the crafty early bird shoppers who show up in droves for the holiday festival.

The booster-club-sponsored holiday event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday on the Centurion Way campus. Organizers hope to raise $10,000 that will go directly into scholarships for graduating seniors.

``We've had some vendors who thought we weren't doing the boutique because of the construction,'' said booster club A booster club is an organization that is formed to contribute money to an associated club, sports team, or organization. Booster clubs are popular in American schools at the high school and university level.  president Joe Messina Joe Messina (born in Detroit, Michigan on 13 December 1928) is an American guitarist. Dubbed the "white brother with soul", Messina was one of the most prolific guitarists in Motown Records' in-house studio band, the Funk Brothers. . ``But the school has been bending over backward to help make this happen.''

The gymnasium will feature several dozen vendors offering hand-crafted gifts, home decor, jewelry jewelry, personal adornments worn for ornament or utility, to show rank or wealth, or to follow superstitious custom or fashion.

The most universal forms of jewelry are the necklace, bracelet, ring, pin, and earring.
 and clothing items. Live entertainment will be provided by the Saugus cheer and dance teams and visitors can buy barbecue food items from the outdoor food court.

A popular facet of the event is the consignment The delivery of goods to a carrier to be shipped to a designated person for sale. A Bailment of goods for sale.

A consignment is an arrangement resulting from a contract in which one person, the consignor, either ships or entrusts goods to another, the
 table open for people to bring garage-sale items that will be sold at the event, with proceeds split between the seller and the scholarship fund.

The 2003 boutique provided $9,000 in scholarship money that was given to students for college and trade schools. This year, organizers hope to raise enough to support 20 scholarships.

``Last year, we changed the requirements for scholarship applicants so that they are two-tiered,'' Messina said. ``The numbers of students applying were getting lower, and one year, only eight or nine applied. We found that a lot of the kids weren't doing well with their grades, so they wouldn't apply because you had to have a GPA GPA

grade point average

 above 3.5.''

Now, there are two tiers, for students with grade-point averages above and below 3.5.

``The difference is the essay; for one group, they have to tell us why they selected their career path, if they were inspired by a teacher or someone in their family,'' he said. ``For the other, they have to tell us who they consider a person of great moral character and why. It's fun to see the kids' perspectives.''

Messina said last year the group was challenged by recent fires and rain that followed, so this year's construction doesn't faze them.

``We've got at least 40 vendors and there's room for more,'' he said.
