Hello 8th grade parents!
As previously posted on the 8th grade blog, we will have a brief meeting for all 8th grade parents at the conclusion of the Meet & Greet night, on August 26th. At this time, we will give an overview of the special events that will occur during our children’s 8th grade school year. We will provide an opportunity for all parents to volunteer to assist in one of the many activities. The planning for the following activities/events is already underway with the following chairpersons:
*Class T-shirts - Anne Ryan
*Spirit Wear sales- Maribeth Ruf and Kelly Roth
*Homecoming/face painting at the football game - Mary Durkin
*Haunted Hayride/Haunted Walk - Kelly Novotny
*Service Project- "Feed My Starving Children"- (Nov 10, 2009) Terese Lamoureaux
Please note: For more information on this service project, please go to the
website http://www.feedmystarvingchildren.com/. Due to the nature of this program, we will need a firm commitment in the next few weeks, as to whether or not your child will be able to attend.
The following events still need a chairperson:
*Pumpkin Sale (fall)
*Coat Drive (Dec)
*Ski Trip (Jan or Feb)
*Fun Fair/organize Cake Walk and Face Painting (Jan)
*Great America Trip (May 26, 2010?)

We will have sign-up sheets available at the meeting and encourage everyone to participate in some capacity. We are looking forward to a great year for our kids!
