STUDENT COUNCIL: The 2010-2011 Student Council election
campaign is officially underway! Students handed in their initial
packets of information last Friday and concentrated on getting all of
the required petition signatures turned in today. Candidates will
be announced Friday morning. Monday, there will be a "How to
Write a 2 Minute Speech"
workshop
in Grade 5 from 9:50 to 10:10 am. (Pretzel snacks will be
provided.)
Two minutes speeches are required by each candidate and are
scheduled for
May 20th and 21st. Three campaign posters created by candidates
may be hung in hallways on Monday as well. Students should keep
in mind that each poster must use blue tape (see Mrs. Wright) for
hanging. Tip: Heavy posters often fall! Good luck everyone! Go Panthers! |
| 3. TEACHER/STAFF APPRECIATION LUNCHEON: It was so nice to sit and enjoy a delightful Hawaiian luncheon. Our entire faculty and staff usually eat on the run so this annual, special luncheon is immensely appreciated. The menu was delicious and the dessert buffet was a big hit. We want to thank all our parents and grandparents for all their hard work. It was wonderful! |
