Quarter for Katrina-Students
raised money for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
The students will be putting quarters and higher into a bucket in the office
of their gender, and put change that is less than a quarter into the
opposite genders bucket. Money larger or equal to a quarter counts for
you, and money less than a quarter counts against. The gender who has
the highest score will be allowed to go to lunch early the following week.
I have encouraged students to do a little extra work to raise money for
this. I encouraged them to volunteer to do chores, mow a lawn, or
babysit, etc. (for parents, neighbors, friends) to try and earn a
little extra money for this cause over the next week.
Field Trip. The students
went on a field trip Friday Oct. 7 to view a 1/2 size scale model
of "The Wall". To learn more about it go to the website http://www.vvmf.org/
. This is a rare and valuable opportunity to have this so close and we
encourage students and parents to find out a little more about it at the
linked website.
