Priming's done, and now it's time make that sweet sweet ca$h

What’s up dudes and dudettes,

Hope you all had a good weekend and are getting ready for a fun-filled week at school! A wise man once said that “Education = Awesomeness.” That Wise Man was myself.

Last week we all primed our boards (unless you didn’t show up because, oh I don’t know, you were at the GIANTS PARADE!). Next week we can apply our background colors and get going on the details of our designs. Dan “The Man” Allende should be with us again to give us some helpful hints so don’t be afraid to ask him some questions.

In other news, Ms. Gualco has given us the O.K. on a two-day lunch fundraiser. On Monday Nov. 22nd we will be serving a hot dog lunch and on Tuesday Nov. 23rd we will be serving pizza bagels. Since there will be no hot lunches on that day Ms. Gualco said that the school will pay for the lunches of those people that usually have hot lunches. That means that we will automatically make $400 on that day if all supplies are donated. SWEET!

Which brings me to my next point: please ask all your parents if they’d be willing to donate some food goods and/or their time on either of those days to helping with the fundraiser. Things we’d need include…

- Hot dogs

- Buns

- Ketchup packets

- Mustard packets

- Juice boxes

- Bags of chips

- Bagels

- Red sauce

- Cheese

- Pepperoni

- Brown paper bags

I will be sending out more information in the Wednesday folder this week. We already have Derek, Taylor, Rene, and Nataly making posters but let me know if you guys want to help in any other way. (And thanks to Taylor and Grazie for talking to Ms. Gualco about it)

I shall leave you with a funny video by Stefan Janoski on how to do my favorite trick - 360 flips. As he says, “driving’s boring. Skate around town. Do 360 flips on the way.”



Also, check out the pics below of the good times we had priming and painting last week. And don’t forget to Like the facebook site, get your facebook friends to Like it to, and follow the blog if you can!
