Relay Fun!

For the past two weeks, we've been very busy getting ready for Relay for Life.  So far, we've raised $175 in donations, as well as $100 in our recent "Hat Day." Tonight, we put a lot of effort into planning our penny war for next week. We got the containers ready, made signs, and recorded some awesome video announcements.  We plan to offer a "Cookie Buffet" to the homeroom that raises the most money and the homeroom that collects the most pennies.  That means we'll be baking a LOT of cookies at one of our upcoming meetings. (Don't worry--We'll be sure to sample them before giving them away.)  Another cool thing is that every person who donates a dollar to the penny drive will get a raffle ticket. We'll be drawing six (2 per grade) "Choose Your Lunch Color" passes for the winners of the drawings.  We're having a lot of fun and are really excited about hopefully reaching our goal of raising $3000 for Relay for Life.

Woodhaven

We visited Woodhaven again tonight and basically just hung out with the residents. They really loved that Craig brought a bag full of piano music, and he played for a while. We've decided to do some Readers Theater stuff for the residents the next time we visit. We've already got some great scripts and started practicing.

To All Teachers, We Salute You!

Tonight we worked on our a project to recognize the impact of special teachers on all of us.  We invited everyone to fill out hearts with a teachers name on them and what they did to make a difference in their lives.  The banner is slowly but surely filling up!
