2012 January 13:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
Believe it or not, our students only have 3 semesters left of high school!
In the next few weeks, they will be receiving their class rings and filling out
schedules for their senior year. Our fundraising efforts are about to step into
high gear. Since our fall garage sale was such a success with only a minimal
about of families participating, we would like to have another sale in the
spring with the hope of having more participation. Please begin collecting
items now for our sale that will take place on March 30-31 at First Baptist
Church Aledo. Any items are welcome, but the following items sold particularly
well—small appliances, yard equipment, clothing and shoes, glassware, decorative
items. Also, baby items were in demand. Most of us have long gotten rid of our
baby things, but you may have a neighbor, friend, or family member who might be
willing to donate their baby items.
We are also in the process of setting up a fundraising opportunity at Sonic
on FM 1187 for the kids to work. I will let you know when we get that date
set.
We still have Rosa’s $10 gift cards available. If you would like to
purchase some, please contact Brenda Cheatham (Brenda8200@aol.com), Patti Gough (patti@normangough.com) or myself and we will make
arrangements to get them to you.
Finally, the Class of 2013 will sponsor a Spring Dance at the high school
on Friday, March 30th to raise money for prom. Ms. Andrews is organizing this
and has some great plans in place to make this a success. Please encourage your
child to attend and take some friends.
Our next meeting will take place on Monday, February 20th at 6:30 in the
high school cafeteria. Please make plans to attend and we will have more
details about these upcoming events. Thank you for your involvement in Project
Celebration 2013 and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell
President

2011 November 6th:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
We wanted you to be aware that the Junior class received an information
packet today at school about a cookie fundraiser. This fundraiser is to help
offset the cost of their Senior Prom. The order form and money are to be turned
in on November 14th and the cookies will be available for pick up on December
12th. There will also be new class t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies available
in time for Christmas. We will send out the order form for these items in the
near future.
Remember these fundraisers are for Prom, which is different than Project Celebration. Any questions about these fundraisers should be sent to
Ms. Andrews at the High School.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell

2011 October 25th:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
Our garage sale this past weekend was a big success and we raised just over
$1500. We are already making plans to have another sale at the end of March.
Please start putting aside items now that you would be willing to donate to that
sale. We were surprised at how well clothing sold, so it’s a great opportunity
to clean out your closets. Thank you to all of those that came out on Friday and Saturday to help with the sale! As a
“thank you” to First Baptist Church Aledo for letting us use their facilities, we donated
$100 to the Youth Department.
Also, our football game this week is in Birdville on Thursday night. There just happens to be a Rosa’s
Café right across the street from the stadium! Don’t forget that we are selling
$10 Rosa’s gift cards. For every gift
card we sell, $3 goes to Project Celebration. If you would like to purchase
gift cards, please let me know and we will make arrangements to get them to
you. Every time you go to Rosa’s, you should be paying for your meal with gift
cards to help out Project Celebration.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell
President
Project Celebration 2013
2011 October 11th:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
Thank you to those of you that made it to our meeting last week. We
discussed several fundraisers that are currently underway and some coming up in
the near future. I wanted to give you some more details about our Garage Sale
that will be taking place on October 21-22 at First Baptist
Church Aledo. We will be set up in the
parking lot in front of the youth building from 8 AM – 2:00 PM on Friday and Saturday. Please start
gathering items that you would be willing to donate for us to sell. Also, check
with you neighbors and friends to see if they would be willing to donate items.
It’s a great opportunity to clear out your garage!
If you are willing to donate items, please respond to this email and let us
know. Several of you raised your hands at the meeting indicating you had items
to sell and we are hoping for more. Let us know so we have some idea of how
many items to expect. Brenda Cheatham will be at the church on Thursday, October 20th from 6-7 PM for you to drop
off items or you may drop them off Friday, October 21st beginning at 7:30 AM. Please make sure all items are priced before
dropping them off.
The following shifts are still available for those that are able to work
the Garage Sale:
- Friday/7:30 – 11 AM – 1 person
- Friday/11 – 2:30 PM – 2 people
- Saturday/7:30 – 11 AM – 4
people
- Saturday/11 – 2:30 PM – 5
people
As we’ve mentioned, this is a critical year for our fundraising efforts and
we still have a lot of money to raise. We have opportunities set up to raise
these funds, but we need your help to be successful. Please be a part of this
Garage Sale by donating your items and/or your time.
Lastly, those of you at our meeting heard Ms. Andrews, our faculty class
sponsor, discuss the fundraising process for prom. She mentioned that she is
having some difficulty in getting more students to attend the planning meetings
she is holding. In an effort to try to accommodate more students, she has a
meeting scheduled for Thursday, October 13th, at 6 PM in the cafeteria. This
meeting is NOT for parents, but for students. PLEASE encourage your child to
attend this meeting. Get them to take a friend or two! They need to be
involved in the design of their class t-shirts, making plans for the Valentine’s
Dance, next year’s Homecoming Dance and their Prom. It may not sound like fun
to them, but if they go with some friends they can make it fun. In order for
their Prom to be the best it can be, your student needs to be involved in Ms.
Andrews planning and fundraising efforts.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell

Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
I want to remind you of our upcoming meeting on Monday, October 3rd at 6:15 PM in the AHS cafeteria.
This is a big year for our fundraising efforts and we need everyone to get
involved and participate. There are a few things we need to let you know about
before the meeting.
1. We have some exciting new merchandise to sell at the Homecoming game
on Friday night—Light Up Shoelaces! These are going to
be the “next big thing” and, thanks to the Vann-Stetzler family, PC 2013 will be
one of the first to sell them. We will have 40 pairs of orange shoelaces to
sell at the game for $10/pair. Get them before they’re gone!! We will also be
selling $10 Rosa’s gift cards. For every $10
gift card sold, PC 2013 receives $3. There will also be bag tags, as well as, a
few umbrellas and chairs. If you are unable to get by the table at the game,
bring your checkbooks to the meeting and we will have items there for purchase.
Also, please bring any money or unsold merchandise to the meeting so we can
account for everything we have sold up to this point.
2. We will be having a Garage Sale on October 21-22 from 8 AM – 2 PM in the parking lot of
First Baptist Church Aledo. Please begin gathering and pricing items you are
willing to donate. We will have two shifts per day—7:30 AM – 11:00 AM and 11:00
AM – 2:30 PM-- and will need several volunteers for each shift.
3. Ms. Andrews, our class faculty sponsor, will be at the meeting to
discuss prom fundraisers.
4. Finally, we will have various sign-up sheets for several upcoming
events (garage sale, 3 on 3 basketball tournament, Promenade committee, Friday
cookie sales, etc.). Please be at the meeting to learn more about these events
and how you can become involved. WE NEED YOUR HELP to make Project Celebration
2013 a success!
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

2011 September 6th:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
I hope everyone had a great summer! Junior year is an important time for
our students and it is an important time for Project Celebration as we strive to
reach our goal of finishing our fundraising efforts by the end of this school
year. We will be having our first meeting of the year on MONDAY, OCTOBER 3rd, at 6:15
PM in the Cafeteria at the High School. Please make note of the
unusual time, as we are trying to accommodate those who want to attend the
Booster Club meeting as well. Before our meeting, we wanted to make you aware
of a few things.
1. We need one or two volunteers to sell some of our merchandise at the
home football games. This would require arriving at the stadium by 6:00 and selling through the first quarter of the game.
We need volunteers for SEPTEMBER 9th, SEPTEMBER 30th, OCTOBER 7th, OCTOBER 21st, and NOVEMBER 4th. We need to know ASAP if you
could help this Friday, September 9th. This
will be the biggest crowd of the year and a great opportunity for sales. Please
contact Brenda Cheatham, Brenda8200@aol.com, if you
are able to help with merchandise.
2. As a fundraiser, we are going to have a garage sale in October. The
actual date and location is still being determined. Please be setting aside
items that you have been wanting to get rid of and put a price on them. We will
be sending out more information in the coming weeks. We will be discussing
other fundraising ideas at our meeting. Please bring any ideas you may have to
share with the group.
3. Finally, at the October 3rd meeting we will begin
signing up for committees for Cookie Fridays and Promenade. **Cookie Fridays
are especially popular, so please note that those attending the meeting will
have priority in signing up.**
Let me know if you have any questions and we look forward to seeing you
on October 3rd.

I am looking for volunteers for the Indy 500 on June 11th at the Texas Motor Speedway. Your child and friend can work
with you as runners for the suites as long as they are 16. I don't have the
specifics, but each person will be required to take the alcohol test through the
TABC. Once this test is completed, you will now be
allowed to serve alcohol at any food establishment. The shifts will be during
the race and we can make $100 per person. We will be required to work the June
and November races to keep this as a fund raiser. Please let me know ASAP if
you and child can help at kim.welch@att.net . Aledo Project Celebration 2013
2011 April 6th:
Dear 2013 Parents,
We have an opportunity to participate in a fundraiser
during the upcoming week. One of our 2013 moms, Lisa Rawls, works for Belk and
let us know about their upcoming Charity Sale to benefit local charities and
schools. Our group would sell Charity Sale tickets for $5. On Saturday, April 16, from 6 AM - 10 AM, customers may
present this ticket for $5 off their purchase. In addition, most items in the
store will be discounted 25%, with some items up to 70% off! This would be a
great opportunity to buy that Easter outfit or spruce up your spring wardrobe.
Along with clothes for the entire family, Belk also sells shoes, jewelry,
accessories and home items. Project Celebration would receive $5 for every
ticket sold. We need to know how many would be interested in participating in
this fundraiser, either by buying a ticket or taking some tickets to sell.
Please respond to this email within 24 hours, if you are willing to help with
this fundraiser. If we have enough interest, we will let you know when and
where you can pick up your tickets.
I look forward to hearing from you! EMail: (click)

Hey parents it is that time again. I need volunteers to work the Texas Motor Speedway on April 9th. This is a Saturday this time. It is a
simple way for the Class of 2013 to make money. You show up at 7am and usually
finished by 2pm. The class makes approximately $70 per person. You must be at
least 18 to help and no you do not get into the race unless you purchase a
ticket. We have new contact person at TMS and different ways of doing things.
First, I need to complete the list of volunteers by March 15th and you have to complete the online alcohol
test through the TABC. I'll
give you details when you volunteer. Please let me know ASAP at kim.welch@att.net . The more volunteers the more
money our class makes. If you have kids that are 18 and in NHS, they can earn 6
out of 9 hours of volunteer time.
We will be discussing some additional fund raising ideas at our next meeting. The date will
be set soon.

The Project Celebration 2013 met 9-27-10. We
discussed that organization is a nonprofit entity and a separate from
Project Prom and not a school organization.
We need each family to donate $100 as soon as possible.
The more parent donations we receive the less fund raising we have to
do. Letters are going out to parents next week to explain the purpose
of Project Celebration. We also discussed fundraiser ideas.
Our first fundraiser is the Texas Motor Speedway.
I need 10 volunteers on November 7 to work the corporate hospitality
tents. We report at 7:30am to serve food to the corporate guests and
we are finished at 2pm after the race starts and you avoid all the
traffic. If you are interested or want additional information please
email Kim Welch at kim.welch@att.net
.
I also need people who are interested in working the
concession stand when they come available. Please email Kim Welch if
you would be interested. This opportunity comes available during
playoffs for schools using our stadium.
The next meeting will be posted on Project Celebration
2013 website.

2010 August 25th:
Hello Sophomore Class
of 2013 Parents:
I am forwarding this
email to you from our kid’s AHS class sponsor, Mrs. Gloria Andrews. She needs
parents to help volunteer and purchase class T-Shirts.
I just wanted to
clarify what this fund raising is for, since we get these questions a lot. I
know it is confusing when you get asked to help with both projects. All of the
events are for their senior year, but we need to start raising money now. They
are separate events, and the school is only raising funds for the actual Prom.
Project Celebration is a parent organization raising money for Promenade,
Project Celebration after prom party, and the Senior Breakfast. All of these
events are important, so please help volunteer and support them when you
can.
Class
of 2013 Prom
This is a
school sponsored group. Money
raised by kids in the class of 2013 to pay for their Prom dinner and
dance. The Prom
dinner and dance is sponsored by the school. The more
money raised means that the Prom tickets will cost less, so that more kids can
attend. Mrs.
Andrews is the sponsor for this class and she will be setting up the fund raisers;
such as the Lemon Chill sales.
Class
of 2013 Project Celebration
This is a
parent sponsored group.
Money
raised by the parents/kids in the class of 2013 to pay for the Prom all night
after party, called Project Celebration.
Money is
also raised for Promenade and the Senior Breakfast.
We will
have some volunteer activities for this throughout the year, so look for more
information to come.
Sherri
Campbell and Brenda Cheatham are heading up this group.
Please contact Mrs.
Andrews to help with the events in the attached flyer. Please pass this email
on to any other parents of the Class of 2013.
Thanks,
Patti
Gough
2009 October 12th:
We are looking for ten (10) volunteers for the Texas Motor Speedway November 8th race This is working the hospitality tent for one of the race corporate sponsors from Sunday morning (will be done about the time the race starts, usually headed out by around 2pm). This is a great way to spend a little time helping serve meals and make good money for Project Celebration. For more details, contact Kim Welch at kim.welch@att.net!
Come on out; Thanks!!
