Christmas Decorations

Hey guys!
As we all know, winter break is around the corner, in 14 days! To help prepare our classroom for the upcoming festivities, we need you guys to bring in any decorations you can. We need ornaments and lights for the tree, to add on to the ones we will be making on Friday.* We also need decorations for the classroom. If you could bring them in by Friday, it would be really helpful. We will also decide between White Elephant and Secret Santa on Friday.

Thanks!!

*We need more ornaments to add on to the ones we will be making on Friday with the pictures we took today. If you haven't taken yours yet, see Ortega ASAP.

Canned Food Drive

Hey North House, starting tomorrow there will be a canned food drive competition for a house point. All the senior houses will be colabarating with a corresponding Junior house. Our Junior house will be 11N. We are Team 4. This food drive will not be an easy task, and it will require a lot of hard work on both sides.

The goal of this food drive is to help the needy living in our area; the unemployment rate is nearly 15%, the highest it's been in decades! Jeanette and the Junior class president will be going around during 3rd block on Wednesday.

For now, we will simply put the cans in our classrooms. However if anyone wants to bring in a box, or decorate one, it would help keep our classroom organized.The last day to turn in cans in Nov. 22nd at 8 AM.

Teams:
Team 1: 11W & 12W
Team 2: 11E & 12E
Team 3: 11S & 12S
