Great job to the Pep Band for an outstanding job at last week's football game. We will not be playing for the 2nd round playoff game this Friday evening, but will play if the team makes it to the championship game on either Friday, December 2 or Saturday, December 3. The game will be off campus, but we will have school bus transportation provided.
This is the last push for fall fundraising! There are be two main options that students
have to earn money- traditional and online. The traditional sale (grab
bags) is the highest profit and works great for selling locally.
Students request a grab bag and sell all the items (6 bags of coffee, 2
bags of cocoa and 2 bags of cookie dough mix) for a set profit of 50%.
There is also a mini grab bag which includes only 2 coffees and 2 cocoas
for 48% profit. This form has all the info about the grab bag sale- return this form to participate. Grab Bag request forms must be returned this week! The online store features a bigger catalog of items for purchase and can be shipped across the country. The online store is live now and can be promoted here!
The grab bag order form is due before Thanksgiving and items will be
delivered prior to Christmas break. For each grab bag you plan to sell,
plan on about $50 profit. If you are in the online sale, the profit
will be reported to me later in the course of the fundraiser.
I have accepted late work all semester at no deduction so far- and will no longer accept without deduction beyond Wednesday! All make up journal entries must be turned in by Wednesday. I will still accept late work, but will begin to take deductions.
Live reviews are due Friday, December 9. If you have not yet gone out to see a performance for your review, or if you have extra reviews required for any reason- check out my Live Music page for suggested performances over the next few weeks.
Join us at Chevy's on December 1! If you bring this flier
