Freshman+Year+Archive

** Finished out the year with a balance of $6109.84 **
Maple Festival 2011 It's coming up faster than you think! April 30 and May 1st is Maplefest weekend. We will have a space for a table outside to sell our drawstring bags and lollipops. What we are in need of is a tent to protect us from the rain/sun (whatever weather may come!). We will also need volunteers. We are asking everyone to pitch in 2 hours of their time during the weekend. Of course, the more the merrier (family members included), and the more you work, the more points you earn, and the less you have to pay for your senior trip.

Home Basketball Games We will be selling our gloves, mittens, and slippers at all of the home basketball games this year. Below is a calendar of all the home-games this year. Sign-up sheets for these games will be up in front of Mr. Butler's door. As explained at the class meeting, if you bring your 3 gloves to sell, sell them, and stay for the 2 hours to sell more, you will earn 2 points. We will also have our extra supply at the games, so that people can have a bigger selection of styles. We have made $839 so far on our glove sales. We still have a box or two or supplies - mostly gloves and hats left over - that we'll sell again when the weather gets a little colder again in the fall. We'll hopefully get rid of our supply at the football games next year, and we'll be making pure profit off of them. Thanks to all who helped sell what we did so far!

Wrestling Tournaments There are 2 major home wrestling tournaments coming up on Saturdays (the 8th and the 15th) that we plan on being at to sell glove, hats, and slippers. Sign-ups are in front of Mr. Butler's door, and Mrs. Cashing's door, near which many of the freshmen lockers are. We plan to be there from 10am to 4pm, creating three 2-hour shifts. Please sign up, and remember, if you drag a family member with you, you get double the points! We made close to $300 between these 2 events. Thanks to all who came to help out!

Sleigh Bell Festival Saturday, December 4th. We will need workers to sign-up to sit at a table selling our gloves, mittens, and slipper-socks. The table will be a part of the Craft Show and Chinese Auction that is going on at the Elementary School from 8am - 4:30pm. Obviously, we don't want to take your whole Saturday away from you, but will give you points for your time. There is now a sign-up list outside Mr. Butler's door for the Sleigh Bell Festival. If you sign-up for a 2 hour block, (and show up to work the full 2 hours) we'll give you a point! More information to come at the Class meeting on Wed., December 1st during activity period.

Food Drive This year, as in past years, the Christmas Spirit committee is organizing a food drive for the Food Bank of Franklinville. To help beef up the supply (no pun intended) before the Christmas baskets go out this year, everyone in the high school will be collecting non-perishable foods from December 6-10 (the elementary school did theirs in November). The class with the most food collected in the high school will win a pizza party for their December meeting.( This would be a great way to celebrate a job well done with our wreath fundraiser!)

Please bring your non-perishable food donations to school that week, and drop them off with Mrs. Cashing (Rm. 201) or Mrs. Mahnk (Rm. 214). Please check the expiration dates on your donations before you bring them, as we cannot count expired products. Also, items that are packaged together (such as bonus boxes of stuffing, or family size with extra bags in the box) only count as 1.

Homecoming Week - come support your school - you will not get credit for participating in these events, they're just plain fun.

Congrats to the Juniors as well, for coming away with the trophy!

Thursday, October 14 - 6pm Bonfire at Fireman's Field As you may know, we did not have the bonfire at Fireman's Field, due to the weather. However, thanks to all who came out and supported!
