2008 End of Semester Wrap-Up

Walton CO --- Spectacular End to an Awesome Semester!

A message from Mrs. Fulkerson, Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Thrash

Thanks to all of you for finishing strong this semester.  Our holiday events have been overwhelmingly successful!

ASP Parties --- All of the directors were very complimentary and extremely grateful.  The music worked out fine – even though we miss our DJ.  We served tons of ice cream.  Walton student attendance was higher than ever!  Thanks for coming out.  It means the world to the ASP kids for you to spend your time with them – talking, dancing, and just having fun.

Savannah Court --- Thank you to all the performers.  The reviews were outstanding.  Again, sharing your talents with the residents is a true gift.

Monday in the Commons --- Y’all did a great job on assembling the 370 party favors for the ASP parties.  The elementary students consider these an extra special treat.  The sandwich assembly went wonderfully as well.  We finished more than enough lunches to stock the MUST pantry. 

COOKIES --- Extra thanks to all of you who took the time to bake cookies!  There was an awesome response.  We are sending almost twice the number that we committed to send to MUST.  They are thrilled!

Good luck on your finals!  Have a safe and peaceful (or exciting – your choice) winter break! 

Cookies for MUST Lunches

We are making lunches for MUST Ministries at the next Monday in the Commons meeting. 

We are asking anyone in the club who wants to participate to contribute to this effort by making cookies to include in the lunches. If you want to help … you will receive 2 community service hours for your effort.

 

Check your email from your group leader for all the details...

Holiday Parties at ASP

We are hosting holiday parties at each ASP where we tutor.  Even if it is not your day to volunteer, you are welcome to join the party and have some ice cream with the kids.  (This will count as a makeup if you have missed any volunteer dates.)
