Green Day
The Duct Tape Challenge
Are
you proud of the good ol’ Buxton Chrome? How about the old adage, “if
it’s broke, duct tape it!” Or, “In duct tape, we trust?” Well, then
please, pay attention. Would you like to see a principal duct taped to a
wall? I’ll say that again, Would you like to see a principal duct taped
to a wall? I know I would!
Baillie
Clan will be hosting a fundraiser to help this dream become a reality!
Mr. Harris has graciously volunteered to be the target of our duct tape
aspirations, and will literally be taped to the wall during the whole
school assembly, next Friday, April 17th.
Sales
will be held during homeroom and everyone, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade,
student and teacher alike, is invited to participate. Each dollar paid
will sponsor one foot of tape to be used in making Mr. Harris and the
wall, one and the same! Show your support and school spirit, and join us
in this duct tape madness!
Don’t
worry either, all that duct tapey goodness will be collected and
recycled into a collection of duct tape products, showcasing this humble
adhesive’s amazing versatility!
Game Club will be on the April 15th.
Get your running shoes on for the Great Scot Trot
this coming Sunday. Race starts at 9:00 AM, and it benefits our own
community with scholarships. C'mon! Show your stuff! That's 9:00 AM
this coming Sunday, for the Great Scot Trot! Be there!
Reminder that Monday is Opening Day at Fenway and our school is celebrating "Dress for Sox-Cess Day".
Pay $1.00, or more, to wear Red Sox hats and/or clothing - all the
money will go to The Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber Institute. Both
organizations do so much to help people who are suffering from cancer -
they also offer a great deal of support to families. Any student who
makes a contribution will be entered in a raffle - a $25.00 gift
certificate to Olympia will b e given to one 6th grader, one 7th grader,
and one 8th grader. Winners will be drawn at the April 17th school
assembly. The homeroom that collects the most money will be awarded a
100 gift certificate of their choice. Each staff member who contributes
$5.00 or more will be entered into a raffle for a $25.00 Olympia gift
certificate. Let's work together to exceed last year's contribution of
$1,500!!
