Deadlines: Fees/Registration info must be turned in before Fall Break (9/28)
Fundraiser: Giving Bean Coffee/Tea Fundraiser began last week. See me for an order form. Collect all money at the time of the order, and turn all money and orders in to me daily! We earn 40% profit on each item sold. I will keep track of each student’s sales and you can use that toward your fees. Orders will go out 9/14 so all orders and money must be turned in by then!
More: Bill authors will meet after school regularly to work on their speeches and boards. We will have a public speaking PEP class during the second week of Fall Break to help students with their debate skills.
