First is the annual fall sock hop on November 7th. 8th grade is in charge of making it happen, and we get the proceeds to use for our end of the year activities. That's a pretty great trade off. We started today by promoting it in all of the classrooms. We'll be making signs on Monday to put up around school. Here's what we need to help make this as successful as possible:
1. All 8th graders should plan to attend and help work the Sock Hop. Students will need to be here until 5:30.
2. Parents to help facilitate clean up.
3. Healthy snacks to sell. I would REALLY like to NOT do popcorn. It turns into a huge mess. If you have great ideas, I'm open to suggestions.
Second is a Christmas Tree Sale. A Cascade family has recently purchased a house with property that contains a Christmas Tree farm. They did not intent to have a tree lot but decided that if 8th grade would come and help work it for the weekend, they would open it for one weekend and give us 50% of the proceeds. We will work the stand the weekend of December 7th and 8th. I intend to have groups of 4 work 4 hour shifts. Each group will help people find a tree, help them tie it on (if they're tall enough), and work the bake sale table. We get 100% of any proceeds from the bake sale table. Please let me know if you have certain times that would work better for your student. We'll have flyers soon so families can ask family and friends to get their tree from us!
