Trip News:
Dear Parents,
I am sent home the final itinerary for the eighth grade trip on Monday. You will need to make a down payment for each person going on the trip as soon as possible (October 1). The down payment should be $100 per traveler. If you have travelers for which you are unable to make the deposit at this time, please let me know so we can cover their down payment until the time when you can repay it. The cost of the trip is $766.12, based on 16 students and 17 adults. If anyone would like to add an additional family member, that would be fine. The more who go, the cheaper the trip for everyone. Along with the itinerary is the paperwork for our first fund-raiser. If you have any questions, please call Terrie Fiehn.
I changed a couple of things to get the price of the trip down. They are less expensive tickets to Wicked (Can you say opera glasses?), and we dropped the cruise because we will have a ride on a ferry when we go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We will be leaving late Sunday evening so we will arrive early enough to walk around Times Square and nearby areas before dinner. We will return overnight on Wednesday/Thursday. Students will not attend school on Thursday. Again, we will leave late Sunday, May 1 and return early Thursday morning, May 5. We have decided not to use Hilton Points because we would be forced to stay in an area that is significantly less family/student friendly and fun. Finally, great news! Terrie Fiehn has agreed to head-up pizza sales. You will be hearing from her soon. Sue Davis has also had good ideas for fund-raising. Anyone interested in being part of the team that puts these fund-raisers together should contact Terrie immediately.
Thank you for your patience during the selection process. If you have any hot ideas for raising money, bring them on! Again, many thanks.

Good news! We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise, we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.

Note from Mr. Petzold:
I want to invite any and all parents to a special meeting with me on Monday, October 4th at 8:10am, 2:00pm, or 5:00pm in the lobby. I want to meet with all interested parents for a time of sharing about the school's mission and future direction as well as allowing people to volunteer for leading (or helping) with upcoming events. You will also have a time to ask questions, provide input, and share about the school. It should be fun, informative, and a great way to stay involved in your child's education. Attendance is optional, of course, so don't feel guilty if you can't make it. I plan to have more meetings like this throughout the school year.

We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise, we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.
Bring in Pop Cans and Bottles, please for Guatemala!

Dear Parents,
Tomorrow (Friday) I will be sending home the final itinerary for the eighth grade trip. You will need to make a down payment for each person going on the trip as soon as possible (October 1). The down payment should be $100 per traveler. If you have travelers for which you are unable to make the deposit at this time, please let me know so we can cover their down payment until the time when you can repay it. The cost of the trip is $766.12, based on 16 students and 17 adults. If anyone would like to add an additional family member, that would be fine. The more who go, the cheaper the trip for everyone.
I changed a couple of things to get the price of the trip down. They are less expensive tickets to Wicked (Can you say opera glasses?), and we dropped the cruise because we will have a ride on a ferry when we go to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. We will be leaving late Sunday evening so we will arrive early enough to walk around Times Square and nearby areas before dinner. We will return overnight on Wednesday/Thursday. Students will not attend school on Thursday. Again, we will leave late Sunday, May 1 and return early Thursday morning, May 5. We have decided not to use Hilton Points because we would be forced to stay in an area that is significantly less family/student friendly and fun. Finally, great news! Terrie Fiehn has agreed to head-up pizza sales. You will be hearing from her soon. Sue Davis has also had good ideas for fund-raising. Anyone interested in being part of the team that puts these fund-raisers together should contact Terrie immediately.
Thank you for your patience during the selection process. If you have any hot ideas for raising money, bring them on! Again, many thanks.

I am sorry there was no blog yesterday. I was having a computer problem that has been solved.
The travel agent has sent me a revised itinerary. He is still trying to figure out if we can save any money with Hilton Points…there are literally no available rooms. Parents need to meet soon about fund-raising. Please let me know if you would be willing to head up a fund-raiser. (Terrie??? Anyone?) Just a reminder that you are in charge of fund raising. I will be happy to help, but I do not select or coordinate the fund-raisers. Thank you so much.

Information on a funding raising meeting coming tomorrow!
The results of the voting for the eighth grade trip are
12 for NYC,
1 for Mackinaw Island Adventure, and
5 for Cedar Point and Detroit Adventure.
Several folks who voted for Cedar Point did mention they would support NYC if we could get the cost down. The travel agent is attempting to do that with the bonus points from the Davis family. There is a Hampton Inn near the Empire State Building, and we are looking into staying there rather than where we normally stay, to see if we could reduce the price of the trip. To figure out the actual cost of the trip, however, I need the number of those traveling. I also know, to determine that, you need to know how much the trip is…a catch 22. Would you please let me know how many folks from your family would go on the eighth grade trip, if we could get the price down a bit. I won’t hold you to it, but then I can give you an idea of the cost of this trip, so you can make your final decision. Thank you.
Thank you parents for driving today and allowing your students to see Flipped. We had a lot of fun and a great discussion after we got back to school.
Good news! We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.

Eighth Grade Trip Information
Dear Parents,
The results of the voting for the eighth grade trip are as follows:
12 for NYC,
1 for Mackinaw Island Adventure, and
5 for Cedar Point and Detroit Adventure.
Several folks who voted for Cedar Point did mention they would support NYC if we could get the cost down. The travel agent is attempting to do that with the bonus points from the Davis family. There is a Hampton Inn near the Empire State Building, and we are looking into staying there rather than where we normally stay, to see if we could reduce the price of the trip. To figure out the actual cost of the trip, however, I need the number of those traveling. I also know, to determine that, you need to know how much the trip is…a catch 22. Would you please let me know how many folks from your family would go on the eighth grade trip, if we could get the price down a bit. I won’t hold you to it, but then I can give you an idea of the cost of this trip, so you can make your final decision. Thank you.

Permission slips, lunches and ballots!
I have compiled options for the eighth grade trip and have a list of sorts for you today. This was much more difficult than I would have thought. Janet Papke and Sue Davis have been busy sending me ideas, and I am driving the travel agent nuts with plans and alternate plans. Please read the various plans and ideas, and let me know what appeals to you by Friday or Monday at the latest. Again, the options came home today. Please respond on the ballot provided as soon as possible. Thank you.
We will attend Flipped tomorrow afternoon at 12:20. We will be leaving school at 11:45. Thank you drivers for agreeing to chaperone on such short notice, and for those who were willing to go but were not needed. Drivers, please be by the eighth grade door by 11:40. Thank you. Students, remember your permission slips and lunches!

We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.
Blessings,
Mrs. Buss
