We have a few important Project Celebration announcements for you. First, our next meeting will be Monday, December 4th, at 6:00 pm in the Administration Building Boardroom (the building across the lot from the main entrance to the high school). Please plan to attend if at all possible as the days are counting down to Prom! Also, we have received the blanket shipment!! If you’re looking for that perfect Christmas gift you can get yours this Friday, Dec. 1, from 10 – 1 at the cookie booth in the high school. The price is the same - $35. This shipment is it – we will not be ordering anymore after these sell. Plan to get yours Friday or send money with your student to purchase them for you that day. Any blankets remaining after Friday will be sent to the other campus offices to sell, along with the class cookbook (another great gift idea! :-)). Finally, Kimberly Hardick needs your pictures for the senior video as soon as possible. Remember to send one baby picture and one current picture of your senior, along with any group shots of senior students you may have. Submit them in digital format (you can do them at home or take them to most 1-hour photo shops). Be sure to include your senior’s name on the cd. You can drop it off at Aledo Yoga and Nia Center, which is next to Aledo Florist at 213 E. Oak Street or bring to Monday’s meeting. If you have any questions call Kimberly at 441-6206 or email her at Kimberly@aledoyoga.com <mailto:Kimberly@aledoyoga.com> . This is a HUGE job and we are grateful to Kimberly for volunteering to handle it. Please help her out by getting your cd to her soon, as we want as many seniors in the video as possible. Have a great week! (11/18) Thanks to all who helped provide food for today’s Cookbook Tasting Luncheon at the high school. There was an abundance of fabulous food, appreciative teachers, and buzz about the new cookbooks. Wow – what an awesome collection of recipes we have here! If you haven’t yet bought your copy of the class cookbook, be sure to get yours soon. Have a great Thanksgiving and we’ll see you at the next meeting on December 4th (11/14) Don’t forget to come by the Project
Celebration table at varsity games where we will be selling Feeding Our
Cats, the Class of
2007 cookbook. These books
are AWESOME, and will not only be a great source of recipes, but will make
wonderful keepsakes and gifts (only 46 days till Christmas!). The blankets are on backorder and, although
they will not be here in time for the game, they will be available for sale at
most school campuses after November 17th. We are
still needing more dishes for the AHS teachers’ luncheon next Friday (11/17), so
please contact Melanie at melanie.loftin@prodigy.net if you can send something from one of
the recipes in the cookbook. Especially needed are main
dishes, vegetables, salads and desserts. If you do not have a recipe in the book you can still help by sending
2-liter drinks for that day. Thanks for all your efforts and
support!
