New:  Starting Tuesday, the recognition committee will be selling Thanksgiving Thankful grams that you can send to your friends to let them know how much you appreciate them.  Small grams are 50 cents and large grams are $1.  We will be selling them in the cafeteria during the morning program and during 8th grade lunch. You have one week to purchase as many thankful grams as you can.  All proceeds go to funding the 8th grade recognition party.

New:  Hey 8th graders! Guess what friday is?  Spare change friday.  Bring in your coins or spare change and donate to the recognition fund. The more money we raise, the better party we get. Some one will be coming around in homeroom to collect your change.
