Help Needed For 8th Grade Breakfast

I need a few parents to come in and help to organize set up for the 8th grade breakfast next Friday. I will be coming in about 7:15 a.m. with the breakfast enchiladas, but need a couple of moms to help organize the kids for setting up tables... for the breakfast. The moms would need to be there at about 7:10 a.m. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks to Chris Spaude for the cinnamon rolls, and Barb Rohleder for the salsa to top off the breakfast enchiladas!

Next 8th Grade Breakfast, Feb. 25th

Looks like I'll be serving up another breakfast for our 8th grade the morning of Feb. 25. I'll be making breakfast enchiladas for the group, and Mrs. Spaude will be providing cinnamon buns. I'm asking each of the 8th graders to donate $2.00 a piece toward the cost of the breakfast. This will include most of the ingredients for the enchiladas, orange juice, plates, cups, plastic ware... The 8th grade voted to do it this way rather than bringing food items for my recipe. Please have the money to me by next Friday the 18th.

Pictures For 8th Grade Power Point

Hey!!! It's already time to start digging in your photo albums and boxes for those precious pics of your 8th grade kids. Jamie and Caitlin, along with the help of Pastor Spaude, will be putting your power point together for the graduation reception. I will be sending an envelope home sometime next week explaining which pictures will be needed. Putting this together is a lot of work, so we'll need the pictures as soon as possible so they can start working on the presentation. Thanks for your help, and happy digging!

Science Research Paper

The 8th grade will be starting their science research papers next week. They were told yesterday that they are to have their project chosen by next Weds., Feb.16. They have received sheets describing the criteria for the science fair. They are not allowed to do a collection project, and will be marked down if they do anything less than an experiment in conjunction to their paper. A wonderful resource for them to use for their projects is sciencebuddies.org. Please know that they will have very little, if any time to work on their papers at school, so they should allow adequate time at home to work. I will be handing out a schedule sometime next week.

Thank you for your help!
