Parent-Student Meeting - October 2, 2007
WELCOME:
Debbie and Kieth Stevens (Debbie Wade was absent)
UPCOMING EVENTS:
The car wash is this Saturday, October 6th. We need more sign ups for the
12:30 & on shift. Parents will be in charge of the hoses this time,
to be certain cars get rinsed well. Bring step ladders if you have
them. Concession donations needed, esp. donuts & teacakes.
Students will get contract points. Last car wash & pancake breakfast
raised @ $2500. Contact Kevin McCarney at mrmas@mac.com for more info.
Rummage Sale:
Becky Encinias – Sign up sheets / Volunteers &
Donations. The rummage sale is also this Saturday, Oct. 6th in the
parking lot next to the car wash (across the street from the school).
Becky will be there at 6 am for people to start dropping of items for
sale. NO TOYS as we can’t get rid of them afterwards if they don’t sell due
to lead recall issues. We also need help if you have a truck to drop off
leftovers at various thrift stores in the neighborhood once the sale is
over. Questions: Call Becky at 384-0942
When your child
packs their belongings, be sure they bring everything on the list of clothing
required. Also, it gets chilly, so pack a jacket. Do not forget a
sleeping bag and pillow. Students also need to bring a lunch or lunch
money on Friday for school as we do not leave for camp until after lunch time.
We will be
returning from camp around 4 or 5 pm on Sunday. Students will call from
cell phones when we get close to the school. We will need to unload the
trucks upon return, so be patient in waiting for your child. Also,
remember to pick up any medications from Lenora when you come to pick up your
student.
Burroughs on Broadway: Oct. 26, 27, Bron
Savage and Teri Richardson
We still need items for the opportunity baskets. Theater tickets are
great, as are musical DVDs & CDs. We need to fill baskets for two
shows so duplicates are OK. Contact Teri at motogirl812@aol.com
Saturday cabaret
seating is almost sold out. Get your ticket orders in, especially if you
want to sit together. We also need volunteers to pass out flyers around
town. Volunteer sign up sheet was sent around. Other volunteers are
needed for a variety of jobs, everything from removing seats in the auditorium
and to taking dishes home to wash after the event. Contact Bron at bbsavage@aol.com
