Last Meeting--May 7

This is our last student meeting before the trip. We will go over several details as well as revise rooming assignments and phone trees. We will also cover the prices for the optional excursions and the trip layout. We need to discuss the last fundraiser, and how to get money from the chocolate bar sales.

We are almost there!!! I am so excited for you all to see these wonderful sights. Please plan to be at this last meeting on Wednesday, May 7th during resource.

There will be one final parent/traveler meeting after the school year (in June or July, depending when the last of the information arrives). Please be sure to check this site as it will be harder to communicate once the school year is over.

Trip Money Due

Trip money is due April 4th. Students should pay money directly to EF Tours. Any fundraising money you have earned will be issued to you in a check at the end of fundraising (around May 1st).

On that note, please stop in and pick up more chocolate boxes to sell. We have around 80 boxes left--thats $1,920 towards your trip if you come and claim the right to sell them. Each box gets you $24. I have personally sold a total of 22 boxes, and plan to sell 4 more, so it can be done if you put your mind to it.

We will have a meeting after spring break and then one final meeting in June.

January Fundraiser set to start

We received several boxes with cases of candy bars yesterday and are in the process of getting everything organized. Starting Thursday, January 24, please stop by and pick up a box of candy bars. Each box has 48 bars to be sold at $1. We are making 50% on each box sold, so if you sell 4 boxes, that's nearly $100. Once this fundraiser is finished we will cut a check to EF Tours for whatever funds you raised selling the candy bars. Good luck!

Meeting Postponed 2 weeks

I am sorry, but we need to postpone the parent/traveler meeting until December 20th. It will still be 6:30 pm in room 135. I have some responsabilities this Thursday that I cannot get out of, so we will have to move the date forward.

There will be a flyer sent out this Friday detailing information on the Rummage Sale. The rest of the items will be discussed in the meeting on the 20th. Thanks you for your patience.

Rummage Sale/Holiday Bazaar

Hopefully you have been collecting "Nick-knacks and bricker-bracks" to sell at your booth in our Rummage Sale/Holiday Bazaar which will take place on DECEMBER 15 in the Community Lecture Room from 9-12 in the morning. You can create a craft or gather garage sale items from around the home (or from neighbors who wish to contribute) and price them for sale. Each item you sell will go directly towards your trip, so plan on using this day to get rid of unwanted clutter and in the process turn it into cash! More details in the Parent Meeting this Thursday.

For an idea of upcoming fundraisers just look at the early blogs--they have the projected months listed.

Parent Meeting

There is a parent meeting this Thursday night at 6:30 pm in Room 135 (Mr. Hurst's Room.

Please invite parents, as it will help them to understand more about the trip. We have some new onformation to share for all attending, as well as rooming lists, telephone charts, etc. to go over.
