Spanish Club T-Shirts

All members of Spanish Club are invited to purchase a club t-shirt from Mr. Hurst by Sept. 19. The shirt also comes with a membership pin. Those choosing to travel to Europe this summer and wish to be part of the fundraiser MUST purchase one. Please ask if you have questions.

Powderpuff Football

It's time to get out your cleats and strap on your flags. Powderpuff football returns to Concord. The Spanish Club is hosting this unforgettable event in an effort to get everyone hyped for homecoming. There will be rock climbing by the student council, and consessions will be served (proceeds will go to towards the 2008 Europe trip, so sign up to help if you want to share in the fundraising).

Pancakepalooza T-shirt Sales Begin!!

Be sure and pick up your order form for the Pancakepalooza t-shirts. Each shirt you sell earns you $5 towards your trip. See Mr. Hurst for order forms.

You must turn in the orders along with the money by September 19. Then plan to come early on the 5th of October to help make the pancakes. More information to follow.

GOT PASSPORTS?

Our departure date is scheduled 306 days from today, and it is fast approaching. With all of the fundraisers that we hope to do between now and departure there are a number of things that we do not want to overlook, one of them being passports. If you do not have a passport now is the time to get working on obtaining one. Keep in mind that once the paperwork is completed it still takes 6-8 weeks for you to receive your actual passport. Do not postpone action on getting your passport until spring- it may be too late by then.

Also, if you already do have a passport please make sure that it is current. If your passport has expired you will need to take action to make sure it is renewed in time for the summer.

Paperwork can be printed off of the internet or picked up at the post office. Passport photos can be taken at pharmacies, post offices, and several other locations. Here is a useful website for those of you who need to get a passport or renew an expired one:

Upcoming Fundraisers

Hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give you an update. We have been in a bit of a stand still the past few weeks as we wait for things to finalize with fundraisers. I had wanted to give you all the dates, but we are still waiting for paperwork to go from the companies to use, through the school calendar, etc.
Here is what we do have lined up:
September 12-Pick up order forms for Pancakepalooza. Each football homecoming shirt you sell is worth $5.
September 26-Pick up Pre-sale tickets for Nelson's Chicken
October 4-Powderpuff Football (hosted by Spanish Club). The event is free, but we will be selling concessions. All those who sell concessions that night will split the take. About 1 1/2 hours of work.
October 5-Pancakepalooza (from 6:30-7:30 Friday morning) Making pancakes in the Cafeteria for those who bought shirts.
October 20-Nelson Chicken Fundraiser from 8am-2pm at the Junior High parking lot.
Many of these event require some added support from the parents. Please let me know if you can help, I need a lot of help to get these going.
Later this year....
November--Cookie Dough Sale
December--Rummage Sale/Holiday Bazaar
January--Dodgeball Tourney
February--Valentine Candy Sales
March--Donkey Basketball
April/May--We are searching for an idea for these months.
There will be a parent meeting in September for those who missed the meeting last Spring, or for those with more questions. Thanks!!
