Today the Eighth Grade hosted a party for the first, second, and third place winners in the race for soda tabs. The Sixth, Fifth, and Third Grades had a great time this afternoon eating delicious snacks, playing fun games, dancing to fantastic music, and, most important of all, receiving the gratitude of local Shrine leaders, who came to collect the soda tabs and show their respect for our efforts.
The entire experience was planned, coordinated, and presented by Tabitha; she deserves our praise and our respect for suggesting the fundraiser, creating flyers, organizing the collection, and contacting everyone involved. Along with other students in the class, she created decorations, requisitioned supplies, and acquired administrative approval for the most energetic in-school event of the year.
Among the other students, of particular note was Christopher, who successfully DJed the entire event, coordinated the dances and the competitions, and stayed after to help clean up the gym. His enthusiasm and expertise served everyone well; if you see him in the halls, thank him for a successful party.
Kyler, Mikayla, Scarlet, and other contributed their time and energy as well. Mrs. Goodspeed, Mrs. Carrie Madden, Mr. Leclerc, Mr. Brownewell, and Mr. Archer all helped as well. The school successfully raised over $400.00 for the Shriner's Children's Hospitals; that is over 40,000 can tabs!
I will publish some photos of the event when they become available to me; until then, if you see a Helen S. Dunn student, let them know they did a great job!
