2013 May 7th:
Dear Senior Parents,
The night we have been working towards for the past 4 years is a little over
a week away! We began shopping for prizes for Main Event last week and, thanks
to your efforts, we are going to be able to provide our seniors with a wonderful
after prom party. Our last scheduled meeting will take place on Monday,
May 13th at 6:30 PM in the DLC. If you are signed up to help decorate
for Promenade on Thursday, May 16th, starting at 2:00 PM or as a Main Event
chaperone, you must be at this meeting. There are several
procedures that we need to make you aware of for these events and we will give
an explanation of each chaperone assignment.
Attached are 3 separate spreadsheets--a list of those who signed up to help
decorate for Promenade, Main Event chaperones from 12-3 AM and Main Event
chaperones from 3-6 AM. Please look over these lists carefully. I have
received many emails so, if I have left you off, it was completely by accident.
Please let me know so I can add you to the list. Also, if you are now unable
to help decorate or chaperone, please let me know.
There is still some confusion about Promenade decorating. Senior parents
will be decorating the gym on Thursday, May 16th. Junior parents will decorate
the cafeteria on Friday, May 17th and take down the decorations after Promenade
so we can enjoy the day with our Seniors.
On the chaperone list, if you have photo booth, bowling, tattoos, or
mechanical bull next to your name--THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE REQUIRED TO
PARTICIPATE OR RUN THESE ACTIVITIES. This simply refers to the area you have
been assigned. I have also assigned some men to help run the tournaments.
These will take place from 1:30-3:00 and will be not be complicated. More
details and information will be given at the meeting.
There is too much information to include in this email, so please plan on
being at this important meeting so you can be informed about these important
events. I look forward to seeing everyone there! Please let me know if you
have any questions.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell

Dear Senior
Parents,
I need to revise
some information from the previous email concerning the Senior DVD.
Photos should be scanned at least 300
dpi and no more than 350 dpi.
Also, a reminder
to have your sons and
your daughter's dates rent their tuxes from Men's Wearhouse at I-30 and Hulen.
Men's Wearhouse will deliver tuxes to the school the Wednesday before prom and
will pick up tuxes, from the Omni, after prom. Men's Wearhouse will
also donate $5 to Project Celebration for every tux rental. Based
on past personal experience, Men's Wearhouse does a great job with prom
tuxes. Please take advantage of this convenient service and
help us make money for our class at the same time!
Let me know if
you have any questions!

2013 March 17th:
Dear Senior Parents,
I hope everyone had a great Spring Break! The following are items discussed
at our last meeting, as well as, a few updates since our meeting.
1. Garage Sale - We will have one more garage sale on
Friday and Saturday, April 5-6 from 8 AM - 2 PM at First Baptist Church Aledo.
All items, except books and clothes, should be priced before dropping them off
at the church youth building between 4-6 PM on Thursday, April 4. We need
volunteers to arrive by 7 AM on both mornings to help set things out in the
parking lot even if you are unable to stay and work a full shift. Shifts are
from 7-11 AM and 11-2 PM. Please let me know if you are able to help work the
garage sale.
2. Corporate Donations - We are in the process of asking
area businesses to make a tax-deductible donation to Project Celebration. If you
are able to help us in this area, please let me know. We have a list of
companies who contribute annually to Project Celebration and are just waiting to
be asked. Also, if you own your own business and would like to make a donation,
we would greatly appreciate it.
3. Prom - Prom tickets will go on sale Monday, March
18th. Tickets are $65 each. All AHS seniors may attend the Main Event party
for free--all others are $45. If your student will be riding the bus from the
Omni to Main Event and/or from Main Event back to the high school, the cost is
$6 per couple and $3 for a single. This will all be paid for at the time they
purchase their prom tickets. Cash or check will be accepted.
4. Senior Video - Photos for the senior video should be
placed on a CD and brought to the school office. Please include one senior
picture and one baby/toddler photo, as well as, any other group photos (at least
3 students) of our seniors throughout the years. Photos should be
scanned at least 250 and no more than 300 dpi as a .jpg file with no white
border. If you do not have scanning capabilities at home, take your
photos to WalMart or Walgreens photo dept. and they will help you scan them.
Every senior will receive a copy of the DVD at the Senior Breakfast.
The deadline for turning in photos is Tuesday, April 16.
5. Volunteer Lists - Please let me know if you have not yet
signed up to volunteer for one of our end of the year events and would like to.
The following volunteer opportunities are: Promenade Decorating - Thursday, May

2013 January 14 20th:
Dear Senior Parents,
Your senior received a packet last week with
information about ordering their cap and gown, announcements, etc. These orders
are due this Tuesday and Wednesday, January 15th and 16th. Please ask to see
these packets if you have not already.
Our next Project Celebration
meeting will be held on January 29th at 6:30 PM in the Distance Learning Center
at the High School. This meeting will cover a lot of information about our end
of the year activities and we will be updating our list of chaperones. If you
want to participate in these events, please make plans to attend this meeting.
We only have a few meetings left and we need everyone to be there to make our
end of the year activities a success.
If you have any questions, please

2012 November 20th:
Dear Senior Parents,
The holidays are here! 2012 is almost over and 2013 is quickly
approaching. Our seniors are almost to the halfway point in their final year of
high school. I warned you it would go by FAST! Thank you to those of you that
came out for our meeting last week. I know it’s a busy time of year and I
appreciate you being there. For those of you that were not able to make it,
below are some of the items we discussed:
1. Thank you to everyone who helped at the home football games—Parking
Lot, Merchandise, Concessions. These were all very profitable for us and we
could not have done it without your help. A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO WENDEE McGEE
AND TOMI BOTTOMS FOR COORDINATING THOSE VOLUNTEERS. We also had several
students who volunteered to sell 50/50 tickets at each game. Thanks to those
students, both seniors and juniors, who did a great job.
2. We sold 90 reserved student parking spaces this year. I am told that
is a new record!
3. New additions to the Cookie Friday Sub list:
4. Be looking for emails from Ms. Andrews, the faculty class sponsor,
concerning prom fundraisers. (Remember, that is separate from Project
Celebration.) The more money that is raised for prom, the less expensive prom
tickets will be. Please support these fundraisers. We don’t want students to
miss out on prom due to finances.
5. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 20th, we will be selling fresh baked cookies at
the home basketball games. These are the same cookies we sell on Fridays. We
need 3-4 volunteers for each game to help with this. There are 2 shifts –
5:15-7:00 or 7:00-8:45. This is a great opportunity for those of you who are
not able to do Cookie Friday or for some dads who would like to help. Check
your calendars and sign up for one of the following days: 11/27, 12/4, 12/11,
12/21, 1/15, 1/22, 1/29, 2/1. Aledo will also be hosting the Moritz Tournament,
12/27-29. We don’t know the schedule yet for this tournament, but please let us
know if you will be in town during this time and would be willing to work a
shift or two.
6. Many companies and individuals are looking for charitable organizations
to give to, at this time of year, that are tax deductible. PROJECT CELEBRATION
IS ONE OF THOSE ORGANIZATIONS. If you know of a company or individual who would
like to give to Project Celebration, make checks payable to PC 2013 and mail to
P.O. Box 1602, Aledo, 76008. Once we receive the donation, we will send back a
thank you letter that will serve as their receipt for tax purposes.
Our next meeting will be after school starts in January and we will begin
planning our end of the year activities. There is still lots to be done and we
need your help in these final few months! Thank you for supporting Project
Celebration 2013. Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell

2012 November 1st:
Dear Senior Parents,
Thank you so much to all of you that have helped us out by volunteering, in
some way, at the home football games. We really appreciate how you have stepped
up when we needed help! Don’t stop now--there is still much to do before the
end of the school year.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, November 13th in the Health Room
at 6:30 PM. To get to the Health Room, walk through the cafeteria
towards the gym and turn left at the first hallway. We will have a sign to help
you find us.
We will get you caught up on how we have done with our recent fundraisers
and what we have left to do. Please make plans to attend this important
meeting. After the first of the year, we will have meetings every month until
Prom in May. We need you at these meetings to help make Project Celebration
2013 a success! The year is flying by!! Please let me know if you have any
questions and we look forward to seeing you on November 13th.
Thank you,
Sherri Campbell

Dear 2013 Parents,
This is my last plea for football
parking volunteers. The first 2 games were great, but these last 3 are not
full. I only have 2 for this Friday and 0 for the next game, Oct. 26 and 1 for
the last game in Nov. I'd rather not do all of them all by myself. Please
check your calendars and consider helping. It truly is fun to be in the parking
lot and get to visit with everyone. Send me an email: runnergirl43@hotmail.com.
Thanks,
Wendee

2012 October 2nd:
Dear Senior Parents,
Below is an update on our upcoming fundraising events:
- Garage Sale – October 5-6 – Donated items for the
garage sale may be dropped off at the youth building of First Baptist Church
Aledo on Thursday, October 4th from 8 AM – 4 PM. Please price
all items, except clothes and books. Minimum price is $0.25 and all prices
should be in increments of $0.25 We will have racks to hang some of the
clothes, so bring wire hangars if you have them. Garage sale hours are 8 AM – 2
PM, however, we will need volunteers to be there by 7 AM to begin moving items
out to the parking lot. In the past, people have stopped and begun shopping as
soon as we start bringing items out so the more people we can have helping to
set up between 7-8 AM, the better, even if you can’t help during the sale. I
will send a separate email to those who have volunteered to work the garage sale
with shift times.
- Football Parking Lot – We have 3 home games left and
need volunteers to work the parking lot. The dates are October 12,
October 26 and November 9. You will be sitting in your seat by
halftime! Please contact Wendee Maghee at runnergirl43@hotmail.com if you are
able to help. According to Wendee, “It’s a lot of fun and not nearly as bad as
you think it is!”
- 50/50 Split – We also need at least 4 students to help
sell 50/50 raffle tickets at the home games. Please let me know if your senior
can help. They can earn NHS service hours by helping Project Celebration.
- $100 Donation – For those who would like to mail in
their $100 donation, please make checks payable to PC 2013 and mail to P.O. Box
1602, Aledo, 76008.
This is our busiest time for fundraising and we need a lot of help. We are
on track to meet our goal, but we need you to get there.
Thank you for giving your time to help make Project Celebration 2013 a success! Let me know if you
have any questions.
2012 September 25th:
Dear Senior Parents,
I wanted to update you on some upcoming opportunities for you to help
Project Celebration 2013 and our senior students.
- Concession Stand - Friday, September
28th – We have been offered the visitor’s side concession stand for the
football game against Arlington Heights. I need at least 10 volunteers who
would be willing to help us out. Please let me know ASAP if you are willing to
work. If we cannot get enough volunteers, I need to allow them time to give it
to another group. This would be a great opportunity for our class.
- 50/50 Split - Friday, September 28th
- We are also in need of about 4 students who would be willing
to sell 50/50 split tickets during the first half of the game. We can offer NHS
community service hours to students who need them. If your student would be
willing to help us out, tell them to bring a friend and they can have fun
selling tickets and help out their class.
- Garage Sale – October 5th & 6th
- Several of you have already offered items for our upcoming garage sale.
Items may be dropped off between 8 AM – 4 PM at First Baptist Church Aledo,
Youth Room, on Thursday, October 4th. All items not sold at the
garage sale will be boxed up and donated to a refugee group that the church is
supporting. So, regardless, your items will be going to a worthy cause. Please
let me know if you are able to donate items to the sale and/or you will be able
to help out at the sale on Friday or Saturday anytime between 7 AM – 3 PM.
There is a lot going on right now and we are making great strides in our fundraising efforts. If you have not been able to participate in the past, we
could really use your help now! Please consider volunteering for one or more of
these areas. A BIG THANK YOU to those of you who have already been such a big
help in our fundraising efforts up to this point. As always, we need YOU to
make Project Celebration 2013 a success!! Let me know if you have any
questions.

see some new faces. For those that were unable to make it, below are a few of
the things that were discussed and areas that we need volunteers.
- Meet the Teacher – Thank you to those who volunteered to sell our
merchandise at Meet the Teacher. Please contact the school beforehand to verify
it is OK with them for you to sell.
- Reserved Parking Spots – Seniors began purchasing reserved parking
spots last week. Students are strongly urged to paint something in their space
so others will know that it is reserved. Parking spaces may be purchased this
week from the AISD Police Department at the Technology and Security building
across from Coder or at the high school Police office after school starts.
Please contact Kim Heibert at hiebertkim@aol.com for questions about
reserved parking spots.

parking lot for each home football game. Volunteers will be making sure that
people are parking in the correct lot (A, B, or C) according to their parking
tag. Volunteers need to arrive at 5:00 PM (or as soon as possible) and work
until mid-2nd quarter. Home games are September 14, September 28, October 12,
October 26 and November 9. Please contact Wendee McGee at runnergirl43@hotmail.com if you
are able to help.

2012 August 13th:
Dear Senior Parents,
I hope everyone had a great summer! The band,
football and volleyball teams have begun practicing and other groups are already
preparing for the school year, as well. There are a few things we wanted to make
you aware of.
1. If you have not been to Glamourcraft to have pictures
taken for the yearbook, that needs to be done ASAP.
2. If your senior
picked up their schedule Friday morning, they should have received a flyer about
reserved parking. Reserved parking spaces may be purchased beginning Wednesday,
August 15th, from the AISD Police Department located in the Technology and
Security building on Vernon Rd. (across the street from Coder). They have a
skeleton crew until school starts so please call 817-441-5147 to make sure
someone will be there. The price is $100 and part of the proceeds go to Project
Celebration.
3. We will be having another garage sale on October 5th
and 6th at First Baptist Church Aledo so begin gathering items you are willing
to donate for that sale.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, August 21st at
6:00 pm in the high school cafeteria. We need everyone to attend so you will be
informed about the many events happening this year. We need your help to make
this year successful for Project Celebration!
If you have any questions,
please let me know.

Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
Since our first meeting at the end of 8th grade, you have heard us talk
about the activities and fund raisers that were passed down to each Senior class
and were the responsibility of Project Celebration. OUR TIME HAS
COME!!
Beginning May 2012 and continuing through May 2013, we will be involved in several different fund raisers that will bring in close to 50% of
the money we need. WE NEED YOUR PARTICIPATION MORE THAN EVER!
Our next big event is Promenade on May 18th. Several years ago
it was decided that the Junior class would help decorate and facilitate
Promenade so that the Senior parents could enjoy the pre-Prom festivities with
their students. This will require approximately 25 volunteers, moms AND dads,
to decorate, handle traffic flow in the parking lot, and organize students for
their walk down the red carpet.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, May 1st at 6:30 PM in the AHS
cafeteria. We will be going over plans for Promenade, Cookie Fridays
and other Senior year activities that are beginning NOW. Please make plans to
attend this very important meeting.
Finally, our Garage Sale/Sonic fund raisers went very well. We raised over
$4000 for the weekend. A special thanks to those who brought items and worked
the garage sale. A VERY special thanks to the following Juniors who did a great
job at Sonic: Maddie Cheatham. Travis Gough, Dylan Campbell, Marisa Laurel,
Abby Steer, Kristyn Kupper, Maddie Bennett, Alex Duke, Danny Smith, Caleb Welch,
Sara Mallett, Kayleigh Gabbert, Kaleigh Hurich, Rachel Larson, Lean Vann, Sara
Redding, Colin Riney, and Payne Viken. They earned over $550 in tips!
Let me know if you have any questions. I hope to see EVERYONE
on May 1st!

Dear Parents,
Class of 2013 will be hosting the “Annual Spring
Dance” on Friday, March 30, 2012, from 7:00 to 11:00pm. This is a great way for
the kids to raise money for their 2013 PROM. We will need parent chaperones for
the evening and items to be donated to make sure the evening is a success.
I have created a “SignUpGenius” page for
parents/students to sign up for food, drinks, chaperones or decorations. All
items can be brought to the front office of the High School. www.SignUpGenius.com/go/30E0F49AFAF23A20-80s
Please email or call me if you have any questions.
Thanks to everyone for your support.
***I know some of you have already signed up but if
you would please add it to the “sign up genius”.

Dear Class of 2013
Parents,
Our PC 2013 Garage Sale is coming up on March
30-31. The sale will take place from 8 AM – 2 PM at First Baptist Church
Aledo. Donated items may be dropped off at the church on Thursday, March
29th from 5-6:30 PM or on Friday, March 30th at 7:30 AM.
Please have all items priced and do not price any item less than $.50. We are
also in need of a few more volunteers to work the garage sale on Friday and
Saturday afternoon from 11:30-2:30.
Secondly, we are scheduled to work
at Sonic on FM 1187, Saturday, March 31st from 10 AM – 4 PM. All
tips earned by our students during that time will go to Project Celebration. We
need 3-4 more student volunteers and 1-2 more parent volunteers to work this
fundraiser.
Finally, we have been asked by the
class sponsor and the counselor’s office at the high school, to share our email
distribution list with them. This would enable them to keep you informed about
prom fundraisers and activities, as well as, scholarship information and
deadlines. Please know that we are protective of our email addresses and would
only consider sharing them with school personnel. If you do not wish for your
email to be shared in this way, please let me know as soon as possible.
Otherwise, I will be sending them copies of our distribution lists on Friday
morning.
Thank you to all of those that have
already volunteered to help on this major fundraising weekend! We need your
help to be successful! Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,

Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
I just wanted to remind you about our upcoming meeting on Monday,
March 5th at 6:30 PM in the Health Room at the high
school. We will be discussing our upcoming Garage Sale and
Sonic fundraiser, as well as, the Spring Dance. Also,
you can eat at Chili’s in Weatherford on March

2012 February 14th:
Dear Class of 2013 Parents,
We have several upcoming events involving our Junior Class to make you
aware of.
First, our Project Celebration 2013 meeting that was scheduled for
Monday, February 20th has been rescheduled for Monday,
March 5th at 6:30 PM in the Health Room. The high school has scheduled
a “Just For Juniors” night for all juniors AND their parents on
Monday, February 20th. This will be a very informative evening
where you will receive information on graduation requirements, SAT testing and
prep classes, college financial aid, and setting up conferences between you,
your student, and their counselor to discuss college choices, applications, or
other post-graduation plans. Please make plans for you and your junior to
attend this important event. Project Celebration will also be there answering
questions about upcoming events and opportunities to volunteer.
Next, mark your calendars for March 30th-31st. This will
be a major fundraising weekend for our class! The Junior class is sponsoring a
Spring Dance on Friday, March 30th to raise
funds for their Prom. Ms. Andrews is needing volunteers to donate snack items,
such as small chip bags, cookies and water to sell at the dance. Project
Celebration will be having a Garage Sale at First Baptist
Church Aledo on March 30-31. Begin looking around your garage
and clearing out those closets for items that you would be willing to donate to
this sale. Check with your neighbors, friends, and family for any items they
may have. On Saturday, March 31st, our students have an
opportunity to work at Sonic on FM 1187 and all tips received
during that time will go to Project Celebration. In order to secure this date,
we need 12 student and 4 adult volunteers to reply to this email ASAP. We will
probably be working during the afternoon and it will be a great tie in to the
Garage Sale going on a couple of blocks up the road.
Also, to date, we have only had 49 parents from a class of 350 give their
$100 donation towards Project Celebration. This has always
been a major portion of Project Celebration funds and, based on previous
classes, we are way below the average percentage of parent participation in this
area. We will be sending out a reminder letter in the next couple of weeks to
parents that have not yet donated. Please help us spread the word about the
parent donation to those junior parents who may not be on our email list or have
not attended a meeting. Checks can be mailed to Project Celebration
2013, P.O. Box 1602, Aledo, 76008.
Finally, don’t forget that we still have $10 Rosa’s gift
cards and $5 Aledo bag tags for sale. Sherri
Campbell, Brenda Cheatham and Patti Gough are always carrying Rosa’s gift cards
with them and Jessica Bush has cards in the High School front office, so you or
your child can stop by there and purchase from her, as well.
Please let me know if you have any questions about any of these events or
if you, or your junior, would like to volunteer to help with these upcoming
fundraisers. Thank you for supporting Project Celebration 2013.

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,

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

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.

2011 April 12th:
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 .
