+++Sign up to help bag groceries at Cub Foods in North Oaks on March 21st. This would raise money to go into your account for a possible trip next year.
+++The Parkview Carnival is going to be sometime in February. You will be face painting and doing "Libby Lu" hairstyles. Talk to Amy for more details.
+++Penny, Lynn, and Michelle met with Greg about the trip. We will be taking coach buses with movies! Everyday we will stay in a new town, maybe one day we won't be able to shower (but every other day we could). At night we will have small groups to discuss what you did. The last night will be at a nice hotel in St. Louis, Missouri. We will meet up with Blaine High School at St. Louis to do a "big" service project. We will be visiting Iowa State University and another one too (undecided right now). They designed a t-shirt especially for our group. The theme is love. Parent meeting is January 30 at 7 pm in Ms. Whitcomb's room!
+++Please make some posters for the recycling project sometime before Jan. 25. Talk to James, Jim, Albert, or Abbie for more details on what to put on the posters.
+++Please sign up to help with the recycling project starting Tue. 29 for Ambassadors. We need 10-15 people after school for about 30-45 minutes. Meet behind the language department rooms.
+++Sat. 26 the "Bearly Open" glof tournament is on WB Lake and proceeds go to the WBL Food Shelf. Two people from Ambassadors can golf in it and janet will pay for your registration fee! Talk to her ASAP if you are interested in that. We need about 6 volunteers at 8 am, talk to Pat for more details.
+++Thanks! Have a good week!
