The Blowout is Friday! Get Excited!

Just a few points we covered in the meeting today that are pretty important...

Friday plan on staying after school to help set up. A few of you have talked to me already about needing to leave and come back and that's fine, but everybody else should be there to help. You can just bring clothes to change into. Daniel is coordinating some kind of dinner for us, like sandwiches from Subway, so don't worry about food.

Everybody needs to bring a 2-liter drink and a bag of chips/pretzels/nuts/chex mix or something of the sort. We will also have the bottles of water from the school store.

It is very important that you stay after the dance to help clean up. If everybody stays, it really won't take that long. I know we will all be tired and when I'm tired, I get kinda cranky so I will probably not be happy if you don't stay, haha.

Sell tickets at lung tomorrow! Make it seem like it is that last chance to buy tickets because we really want everyone to buy them tomorrow. If you're not working in the store, walk around the commons to sell them.

Be excited about the dance! Talk it up with your friends and be positive. It really will be a lot of fun. And I'm not just saying that because I have to either; I'm truly looking forward to it!

Any questions/concerns/great ideas, comment on the post or text me at (256) 479-1310.

BLOWOUT Assignments

I'm really excited about the Back to School BLOWOUT, and I hope everybody else is too! It's going to be so much fun, forreal.

On Wednesday, Sept. 22 there will be a handful of seniors including myself that won't be at school due to the freshmen retreat, but there is still a meeting. Cat will be in charge! Everybody will be working on things for the BLOWOUT. This is what I have as the jobs that you all volunteered for...

Pinata:
Tim
Cat
Nancy
Erin
Maddy

Other decorations (wall art, TNT boxes, etc.):
Nikki
Annie
Nico

Music list:
Nick
Courtney
Maya
Jacob (someone volunteered you)

Other activities (brainstorming, planning, and putting it into action):
Natalie
George
Alexis
Holly

Video:
Austin
Charles
Austin is planning a meeting for anyone interested in helping with the video after school tomorrow (Monday) for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Refreshments:
Daniel


If I got any of that wrong, or you just decided to change mind, feel free to work it out on your own. As long as you make yourself useful, I'm happy.

Anything you want to do outside of the meeting to make the BLOWOUT even better is strongly encouraged! Plan to stay longer than 3:45 if at all possible in order to get a lot of stuff done.

Open forum will be Thursday, Sept. 23 after school.

The following week will be busy! We will still be working on stuff for the dance, so plan on staying late Wed. Sept. 29. Also, we will probably have a meeting Thursday after school to finish up with preparation and have a chance to have a meeting with the newbies. And Friday is, of course, the Back to School BLOWOUT! We'll need everyone to stay after school to help set up and everything.

Cookie Craze

Cookie Craze week will be next week, Sept. 13-17. We'll be selling homemade cookies in the store, just like Pi Week last year. Hopefully this will go well and will be a good indicator of how specialty weeks like this will work out.

In the meeting today we established that Nikki will create an announcement for tomorrow and Friday. Everybody else should be talking it up with their friends - it's part of your duty as a class representative!

Annie is the chair for the Cookie Craze committee. You can discuss ideas about Cookie Craze here and if you are interested in helping make cookies on Sunday or a day in the middle of the week contact Annie for the ingredients and what not.

Back to School BLOWOUT!

Post your ideas for the dance here!

Anything and everything: music, decorations, snacks, additional activities, etc.

The theme we decided on is sort of demolition/underground/graffiti rave-ish. In the spirit of moving into the new building and leaving the old one behind, this theme fits perfectly and should get people excited for both the dance and the move.

Be prepared to discuss ideas at the next meeting, Wednesday, Sept. 8.

Remember: this is homework!
