Aquarium Money

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fun spring break. I can't believe how quickly this school year is passing! There are only 36 school days left! I wanted to update everyone on the aquarium trip. Payment, which is $93.50 per person, will be due by next Tuesday, April 8th. Any student who participated in the Coke fundraiser or worked the snowcone machine, I will let you know ASAP how much more you owe. The office did not divide up the money from the Coke sales into separate accounts for the 5th, 6th, and 8th grade classes. I am working with Judy to figure out how much money needs to be transferred to our account. For now, here is the list of students that will owe the full $93.50: Colby Briggs (x2=$187) Asia Brown Henry Chun Ryan Davis Porter Henry Haston Midkiff Vraj Patel Dixon Peek Kadence Ward

Snow cones, tests, and book report

Parents, I told you in the last post about selling snow cones at the home baseball games to raise more money towards the aquarium field trip. I have looked through the schedule and have a list of the rest of the home games for the season. The machine will need to be set up at least 15 minutes before the first game. We will have an ice chest for the ice which can be taken out of the football concession stand. All other supplies will be kept together. I will let you know where they will be kept soon. Please let me know what day and time slot you can work the machine. We will need two people in each time slot. Games: Saturday March 8th- This is a tournament from 9am to about 5pm. We do not have to sell snow cones this entire time, but if anyone is available to sell them for at least 2-3 hours that would be great! I can come at the beginning to help set up the machine and show you how to work it. Please let me know ASAP if you would like to do this Saturday so I can plan accordingly. Monday March 17th- games at 3:30 and 5:30 Monday March 31st- games at 3:30 and 5:30 Tuesday April 1st- game at 4:30 Thursday April 3rd- games at 3:30 and 5:30 Tuesday April 8th- games at 3:30 and 5:30 Monday April 14th- games at 3:30 and 5:30 You do not have to stay for the entire varsity game if it starts getting dark and/or no one has bought one recently. We still need to raise about $1,500. I am hoping to raise at least half of that. Each snow cone costs $3.00. We are really going to have to work to sell these. Maybe have your child go around promoting them during the games to help out. Thanks for your help!
