2010 March 22nd: Dear Parents and Sen10rs, Julie Baker is looking for pictures of your Senior for the video which will be shown during the Senior Breakfast. She is asking for a senior picture and a baby picture. If you have pictures with groups of seniors, please include those. The pictures should be burned on a CD and given to Mrs. Baker in the library NO LATER THAN APRIL 30th. Julie Baker said they are fine with Prom funds and no more money is needed. Prom tickets will be sold April 26-May 4. Each ticket costs $55.00 (dinner included). During this time tickets may be purchased for Project Celebration. The Main Event is free of charge to ALL Aledo High School seniors. Underclassmen and students attending another school must purchase a ticket. The cost is $40.00. If an Aledo Senior is not attending the Prom but will be attending Project Celebration they do still need to sign up in the office as we need a head count for Main Event. Tuxedo Junction: Tuxedo Junction has a promotion to save $50 off a Prom Tuxedo. They will also donate $5.00 per tuxedo to Project Celebration. You must have the coupon to receive the discount. The coupon is attached and must be presented at time of rental. It is not mandatory that you rent from Tuxedo Junction but did want to pass the possible savings on to the parents. The Prom decorating committee is looking for white Christmas lights (white cord preferred, but they will take green too). Please label your lights by writing your name on masking tape and attaching to the cord. These can be dropped off with Mrs. Baker in the library. Volunteers are also needed to help assemble Prom and Project Celebration decorations. The workdays are Friday, April 2nd at 4:00, Friday, April 9th at 4:00 and Saturday, April 10th at 10:00. If you can help, please contact Janice at jmulliniks3@yahoo.com. Sherri Campbell and Brenda Cheatham are looking for volunteers to gather donations for giveaways at Project Celebration.

Please read the following prior to committing to this project. This is what you need to know for completion of the construction portion of our goal: 1. In order to work at the site, you will need to register at the Trinity Habitat for Humanity website. The link is below. For safety reasons, the number of volunteers for each day of work is limited; therefore, sign-ups will be first come, first served! 2. Your commitment is vital! If you sign up and can’t attend the build, we will be short handed and the construction progress will suffer. 3. Daily shifts are from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. 4. All volunteers for the construction phase MUST be 16 years of age or older. Volunteers 16 and 17 years old are allowed to participate in general construction but ultra hazardous activities such as using power tools, excavation, demolition, or working on rooftops is not permitted. Volunteers 12-15 years old can help with the painting and landscaping phases only. Children under the age of 12 are not allowed on the worksite for any purpose. 5. You must complete, sign and turn in a Waiver of Liability when you arrive at the worksite. Anyone under the age of 18 will be required to have their parent sign the Waiver with them. Waiver forms will be available at the worksite; however, if you are under 18 and report without a parent’s signature you will not be able to work. There are two waivers: youth (click) and adult (click) 6. Each volunteer must provide their own work gloves and sun screen. You must wear closed toe shoes. We recommend that you wear long pants. All students of Aledo ISD must follow the school dress code at the work site. No tank tops, swim suits, etc. will be permitted. 7. Lunch will be provided for volunteers each day. 8.

2008 October 3rd: Video Information: Sunday, October 5th we will be making the 20 second video for the next football game. Mrs. Cary tried to get the word out to the juniors but we thought we would try to notify as many parents as well. If your junior wants to be in the video they need to be at the site of the house we are building at 3:50pm as the taping will take place at 4pm. Parking could be an issue so please tell your junior they may have to park a few blocks a way and walk to the site. This is in a lovely neighborhood and we don't want to infringe on the neighbors. If you go west past the Aledo Post Office look for Westgate. Turn right on Westgate and go all the way to where it dead ends to a curve to the left and the lot is right at the curve. Again we don't want to create chaos in Country Acres but at the same time we do want to make sure all the juniors have a chance to be in the video. They are to wear their orange Junior Shirts. If they don't have one then please wear an Aledo Orange shirt. Christy Cary and Craig Harbuck will be in charge of this project. Thanks!

Please enter through the side door by the teachers parking lot. 2008 August 29th: Subject: Aledo 2010 Parking Fundraiser: First of all a HUGE thank you to Debbie Bechthold for stepping up and chairing the Football Parking Fundraiser. WHOO-HOO, Debbie! I only had her in a head lock for a few minutes...I am kidding. Second another HUGE thank you to all of those parents who volunteered to work the parking lot. It is GREATLY appreciated! Not only did folks volunteer but we have some who offered to do it for more than 1 game! WOW! Third another HUGE thank you to those of you who apologized for not being able to help because you are already committed to Band, Color Guard, Volleyball, etc. (Apologies not needed.) Trust me there will be plenty of other things for you to do for the Class of 2010. And we know how many hours you volunteer in other organizations for which we are thankful for your service. Debbie will be working on the schedules and will e-mail them out to the volunteers in the very near future so in the event you need to swap a game with someone we can get that accomplished. She will be looking for back-ups on the volunteer list as well. We all know emergencies happen so it will be a great help if something comes up she will have a "substitute" list. She will also give you all the details you will need for this job. I once again see why the kids in the Class of 2010 are so special as the parents are so giving of their time...and with enthusiasm! Thanks Again to All - Krista Hall 2008 July: 2010 Parents: The votes are in and it was overwhelming to support the Habitat for Humanity project! See the attachment for more information: Habitat press release:(click) 2008 June 7th: 2010 Parents: A second Habitat handout has been added above to help explain the proposal. There are pro’s and con’s, which is why this is being put to an online vote before moving forward. .
Pro: Involves the students to not only help raise money for their Project Celebration event, but also in building a long lasting legacy for the community. Several ideas have been raised to pull students into this process and help pull off the 2010 event; this was the best identified. The approach is to pull in larger donations from individuals and companies to meet the funding needed for both the house and project celebration. In addition, Habitat is very organized and they will have the project supervisor to oversee everything. Overall the rewards you receive as a group and individually when you are involved in a project like this will last long beyond the project celebration event.
.
Con: Requires more, from participation to raise $100,000 (with $40,000 for Project Celebration), to enlisting 160 students to work 10 hrs @ $25/hr to earn the $40,000 for Project Celebration. If both don’t happen in time, then project celebration will need to raise the difference in the time remaining before our event. Overall is a great cause, but there are real time constraints with raising 2010 project celebration funds and this adds risk to our cause.
2008 May 27th: 2010 Parents: Please help us decide whether our project celebration class should take on the Habitat for Humanity project. We’ll take a quick 2010 poll by simply sending an email to either Limit one vote per email address between 5/27 and 6/15. We’ll total the responses and post the results after the 15th. If you have any questions, please look over the habitat handout (click). Thanks! 2008 May 18th: Hello Students and Parents. The Class of 2010 has been presented with a unique opportunity to raise money for Project Celebration’s after-prom party by sponsoring a Habitat for Humanity House Build in our community. It is not just a great way to raise money for the celebration; it gives the students an opportunity to give back to the community by leaving this legacy. If we go forward with this project, the Class of 2010 will be setting the highest standard for future graduating classes of Aledo High School. A special meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 27, 2008 to discuss this and vote on whether we wish to proceed. The meeting will take place in the AISD Administration Building Board Room at 6:00. Students are encouraged to attend the meeting and voice their opinions. Angela Bills from Trinity Habitat for Humanity will be there to explain the program and answer questions. Attached is a flyer Craig Harbuck created explaining the fundraising process. Please print it and bring it with you to the meeting. Mark your calendars and I hope to see you there!

2008 April 8th: NASCAR Fund Raiser: We finished our first Texas Motor Speedway fundraiser last weekend, and it was a blast! No traffic getting there and none leaving; no alcohol incidents and lots of thanks from our tent sponsor for the great service. Many thanks to the 2010 parents that came out. One request: please take a minute and jot down lessons you learned from this event and either bring them to our next meeting or email them to Andy or Sandy. We’ll pull them together into a notebook for reference when we do this again in November and to take some of the anxiety out for new volunteers. 2008 April 2nd: NASCAR Fund Raiser: Update on the race fund raiser this weekend is that on-line training is now available. For the website and password, please contact Cindy (mailto:cindyr@aledoprojectcelebration.com)or Sandy (>mailto:sandyf@aledoprojectcelebration.com). The race is Sunday April 6th. The work involves manning hospitality tents (Village of Champions) for a breakfast and lunch buffet. Rough outline is be there at 6am and should be done by 2pm to 3pm. The event makes around $67 per person. Volunteers should wear black pants and black shoes; shirts will be provided at the event. Volunteers are assigned to work tents as they arrive; if you’d like to work with other Aledo parents, plan on getting to the entrance about 10 minutes early and look for the orange shirts on one side of the entrance (we’ll try to group together and see if they’ll let us work the same tent). The next race after this is in November. A map showing the Village of Champions is at: (click) (second map down on the page). 2008 March 31st:
Notes from the 3/25/08 meeting are summarized below:
NASCAR Fund Raiser: The first race is Sunday April 6th. Kim Lowe reported that mandatory training was available this coming Friday (7pm) and Sat (10am or 2pm). The training is for alcohol sales and is required for TMS employees, bartenders and non-profit volunteers. There may be an opportunity to do training on-line the week before the event; we’ll pass on if that becomes available. The work involves manning hospitality tents (Village of Champions) for a breakfast and lunch buffet. Rough outline is be there at 6am and should be done by 2pm to 3pm. The event makes around $67 per person. Volunteers should wear black pants and black shoes; shirts will be provided at the event.

The next race after this is in November. Kim will check with her contacts next week to see if the on-line training is possible or not. A map showing the Village of Champions is at: (click) (second map down on the page). Skeet Shoot Fund Raiser: Kim Welch reported on the status of a potential skeet shoot as a fund raiser. The information is now available from the club but needs to have the numbers run to see if it makes sense or not. Kim will report at the next meeting. Blanket Fund Raiser: Several ideas on blankets were discussed, from what was done last year (class of 2007) to ideas for this year with tie knot blankets. Those interested will collaborate and report next time on the numbers and if its worth pursuing. Quilt Raffle Fund Raiser: Decided to put this on the back burner for now and focus on some of the other ideas. Scrap Book Fund Raiser: Cindy Roberson reported on scrap book fundraiser and brought a couple of examples. She’ll get one of the books posted in the school display case. Help Wanted: Krista Hall asked for volunteers to head up the 2010 project celebration parents. The group was unanimous in nominating Krista; she wants help and co-chairs, especially for the major committees. One change this year is that the junior class is now responsible for supplying parents to decorate for Promenade (last year the parents of that class decorated, making it difficult to finish and get back to see your kids off; solution was to have the junior class each year do that last minute work for the senior class). Cindy Twedall volunteered to be the point of contact for the school class sponsor (Mrs Kerry); Kim Welch volunteered to co-chair with Krista.
2008 March 13th: Hello
Parents,
The attached event was
discussed at the fundraising meeting last month. We need a minimum of 75
volunteers per race in order to work the events. If we work all the races we
can raise approximately $25,000. This would really cut down on the amount of
future fundraising we would have to do. The first race is Sunday,
April 6 so we need to start lining up volunteers as quickly as possible. Please
contact one of the following to volunteer:

2008 February 25th: Project Celebration 2010 Fundraising Meeting, February 19, 2008, 6:00PM Krista Hall welcomed everyone and explained that the agenda was fundraising ideas. Sandy Fite will promote future meetings in The Community News, on the high school’s electronic sign, on the high school’s website and in the class newsletter. Copies of the 2005 and 2007 Project Celebration Profit and Loss Statements were handed out and discussed. Cindy Roberson volunteered to chair the fundraising events. The following is a list of confirmed fundraisers: ¨ Friday cookie sales – Fall 2009 - Sherry Campbell ¨ Raffle ticket sales at football games – Fall 2009 ¨ Sale of Dippin’ Dots at football games – Fall 2008 and 2009 – Cindy Roberson with the guidance of David Aldridge. ¨ Scrapbook – ongoing - Cindy Roberson ¨ Parent Donations – ongoing - Donna Smith will push this beginning in Fall 2008 The following is a list of possible fundraisers: ¨ $100.00 raffle tickets – Joe Morrow proposed a one-time raffle targeted at businesses. The cost of a ticket is $100.00 and 100 tickets will be sold. The winner will split the winnings 50/50. This could net a maximum of $5000.00 for the Project. ¨ Hulen Mall Festival of Giving – Kim Lowe explained that the Mall gives out tickets to this one time event around the holidays. The organizations sell the tickets for $5.00 and keep the proceeds. ¨ Texas Motor Speedway Hospitality tent workers – Kim Lowe explained that TMS hires people to set up, work and tear down the driver’s hospitality tents. TMS pays $67.00 per person for this work. We would arrive by 6:00 the morning of the race and finish an hour after the last race begins (approximately 3:00PM). If we could enlist 100 people that would bring in $6,700.00 per race. With five races per season this could net the Project $38,500.00. ¨ Quilt Raffle – Krista Hall explained she could have her friend make a one-of-a-kind Aledo Bearcat quilt. Raffle tickets would be sold by parents and students at the football games. ¨ Fleece Blanket – Brenda Cheatham volunteered to explore this fundraiser. ¨ Skeet Shoot at Fort Worth Trap and Skeet Club – a one-time event in which a possible $60.00 registration fee would be charged.

Respectfully Submitted, Sandy Fite, 2010 Project Celebration Secretary
2008 February 14th: Class of 2010 Parents It is time for another Class of 2010 Parent Meeting and this next meeting is for those who are interested in “Fundraising”. We currently have 2 parents who have stepped forward in this area, Craig Harbuck and Ida Feronti. Way to go! Many of you have stated, “Let me know what you need help with” well…we need volunteers for fundraising so we can determine who is doing what, timelines, and get that money coming in. Donna Smith may also need some assistance with contacting parents for the $100 parent contribution. The more we receive in this area the less fundraising we will need to do. So buddy up with another parent and volunteer! If you have any questions please call any of the following: Kathy Zeeb 817-341-2757, Lori Cook 817-441-1311, Krista Hall 817-441-1711 Next Meeting Tuesday February 19 6:00pm – 7:30pm AHS Health Room (Go through the cafeteria headed towards the Gym down the first hallway to your left) Please pass the word to other parents and let them know about our website (www.aledoprojectcelebration.com )so they can give us their e-mail addresses as well.
