Maple Festival It's that time of year again! This year marks the 50th anniversary of the festival! We will be selling strawberry short cakes, and therefore will be accepting donations of __frozen strawberries, cool whip, biscuit mix, bowls, napkins, and spoons__. Remember, any thing you donate to the class will earn you points. We are also looking for volunteers (parents too!) to help out Thursday after school (to bake the biscuits), Friday after school (to set up our tent and tables), and Saturday and Sunday during the Festival. We're looking at 2 hour shifts, and asking students to only sign-up for 1 shift per day for now. Sign-up sheets will be available outside Mr. Schunke's door after break. Once the festival gets closer, if there are still empty slots, students may sign-up for a second shift. As always, we encourage parents to come help out as well, and the student will earn double the points for them being there. We have come up with a theme for the parade! The majority of the class voted to be dressed in 1960's tie-dye. So, after school on Friday and Monday (which ever day works best for you) we will be tie-dying shirts. You provide the shirt, we'll provide the dye. We need to do this soon so that they have enough time to dry. Go in on a 3-pack of shirts with a few friends! Pick sizes that are bigger than you would normally wear; the dying process tends to shrink the shirts. **We made close to $700 profit at this event! Plus, $100 from the Maplefest Committee for participating in the parade! Great job everyone! Thank you especially to all the parents that came and volunteered while Mrs. Cashing was out of town. It was a great help!**

Alumni Basketball Tournament Concessions We will need volunteers to run concessions for Friday March 30th and Saturday March 31st. Friday, there are evening games in the Elementary school, so we will set up a small table for selling pop, water, and candy. We'll need volunteers for 2 shifts (6-8pm and 7:30-9:30pm). Saturday, games will be held all day in the high school. We will be selling a much wider variety of foods from the new high school concession stand during these games. Shifts will begin at 9:30am and go every 2 hours until 7:30pm. __//Parent volunteers are needed for Saturday!//__ This will be a much busier event, so please sign-up for a shift or 2 on Saturday! We also would like to sell homemade chili on Saturday, as this can bring more profit to us. If you would like to make chili to donate, or donate ingredients to make chili, please let Mrs. Cashing or Mrs. Mahnk know soon. The more we have donated, the less comes out of our class fund! We made close to $700 profit, so job well done!

Winter Ball - Saturday Feb. 11th Thank you so much to all who helped all week for the dance! It was a huge success! The decorations were beautiful, and I know there were a handful of you who spent many extra hours making sure the Cafeteria did not look like a cafeteria! Thank you also to those who stayed after the dance to help Mrs. Mahnk and myself clean up - with your help we got everything done that night! After all was said and done, we still made a little over $600 at this event, so way to go! This could not have been done without the generous donations from parents and staff members. Thank you!

Thanks to those who helped out at the Wrestling Breakfasts - we profited around $950 for both weekends! Varsity Wrestling Tournament Breakfast - Saturday Jan. 14th If you missed out on earning points last weekend, please sign-up to help out this weekend! Sign-up sheets are outside Mr. Schunke's room (across the hall by the Class Calendar). We will need help after school Friday setting everything up (from about 3-5pm) and on Saturday morning. Saturday is split into 2 shifts (6-8am and 8-10am) but if you would rather stay the whole time to double your points, please do!

JV Wrestling Tournament Breakfast: Saturday Jan. 7th Thanks to those who spent their Saturday morning with us at the school! We profited close to $300 that day. No worries, we'll make much more on the 14th because we'll have less to buy for the breakfast.

Breakfast w/ Santa - December 3rd 2011 Thank you to all who volunteered their time, and donated to this great cause! We served almost 400 people on Saturday, with almost 200 kids getting to see Santa, and our class made about $1400 from the event! Thank you to everyone for their hard work!

We will need a lot of volunteers for this event! Each shift gives you 5 points, and remember, your family can help you earn points too! Thankfully, we had a lot of people sign up at our last class meeting (yay!), but I would much rather have too many volunteers than not enough. I will be posting the sign-up list as it is right now outside of Mr. Schunke's room soon to remind you all of when you signed up for. We also need parents to help back-up cashiers and people in the kitchen, so thank you in advance parents who can come help out. Any parents interested in helping out, please e-mail Mrs. Cashing or Mrs. Mahnk or give us a call at the school (676-8060).

We are also asking students to bring in boxes of pancake mix (preferably 32 oz.) and cans of frozen orange juice to help defray the cost to our class. Students will get a point for every item that they bring in, as long as their name is on it. They can leave items in the main office, or give them directly to Mrs. Cashing. Donations for Breakfast with Santa should be brought in no later than Tuesday Nov. 29 (the Tuesday after break) so that we have an accurate count for shopping purposes. Since we are doing the pancake breakfasts for the wrestling tournaments, whatever we don't use for Breakfast with Santa, we will use in January.

Ellicottville Fall Festival 2011 We'll be selling our gloves and hats at Ellicottville's Fall Festival this Saturday! If you or your parents are interested, please let Mrs. Cashing or Mrs. Mahnk know. We are also able to give people rides, but we will need to know ahead of time that you're coming! We're asking for shifts from 9am-12 and 12-3pm.
