EFA/ prom comm

This week was great, we sold 32 of olivia's coockies in 7 mins on monday, mrs. carman came to our meeting on tuesday, and I created awareness with the sale of educational supplies on wednesday which I hope to continue next week.
I was the champion at spooning out holes for the votive table pieces at ou prom meeting yesterday, it was fun.

EFA, Prom, and Student Council

EFA has decided we will do a St.Patty's day/spring themed event for March and we gained a new member but we weren't able to hold a proper meeting this week. Student council was cancelled because we had a half day. Prom committee is preparing to start the decoration preparation as fundraising is winding down.

Student Council

I've started attending the meetings again and g-robs has returned! Tonight we're having a Valentine's Day dance to raise some money for Haiti. I helped make posters last meeting and I plan to be there tonight.

Prom Comm

I'm getting really excited, the favors are in, the music list was sent to the DJ, we made a small profit on the Brusci Helmet, we started a tux and prom ticket raffle, and we picked out the menue! Lots of meetings and lots of fundraising... I can't wait to see what all this work will yield :)

EFA

Well, things are looking up for EFA. We've gained 3 more members since my last journal and the pennies for peace is going great- we even got some bills in the jug! We just had a Valentine's Day bakesale though and that got all messed up because we had a snow day and I lost power with all my kitchen appliances being electrical... but Olivia and Mary pulled through vfor the whole team and we sild all the delicious goodies they made. I'm excited for the SPAuction so we can sell some copies of the sequel to Three Cups of Tea. We're also planning a video showing after school once things slow down...

Hiking

There haven't been any hikes lately but I felt I needed to journal something...

Hiking and Student Council

I haven't attended these since my last blog due to unfortunate scheduling errors.... I realise that this is not a good thing.

Prom Comm

To pick up where I left off, the spirit day fundraiser was a complete failure, but in the following months we made chili and it was a huge success, even though I had to miss hiking for it. Since then we've got the Brusci helmet but we are having trouble selling tickets. We have beautiful black and white center pieces. I'm really excited about the theme, but we need more money.

EFA

Wow, I haven't written a journal entry in a long time. To sum things up with EFA, our regular small bake sales that are completely run by Olivia are going great. Our big events run by me are disasters: we tried to make crepes and the skillets weren't working and I had to go home sick halfway through so that was definitely a failure. The pennies for peace is also failing because someone keeps putting the money jug under the table- very annoying- and I cant always be there to put it back. At least i have maintained the regular meetings and we have a new member joining tomorrow.

EFA

We had agreat fundraiser idea with halloween candy grams, but we didn't sell enough so it failed. But we may have some new members so thats a plus.

student council

Yeah student council is going the same as prom comm where I haven't been keeping up. I had to miss the last meeting, i forgot to put up my poster until the last minute, and I can't help- with setup.

prom comm

We are doing the spirit day fundraiser tomorrow, that should be a great success. I feel bad because I keep missing meetings but at the same time I'm missing everything because all the stuff I'm involved in is having these huge events and then everything outside of school work is going crazy and I'm just feeling very overwhelmed and stressed right now to the point where I'm just shutting down. But I feel like I should be pushing myself harder because I dropped so many activities already. And now the chili idea is going to be canceled because me and every other prom comm member forgot to sign up and I was really looking foreword to it and I feel bad that we let the Hyers down and I feel bad because I'm letting all my other clubs down, and I missed my 3+ early app deadlines, and I'm barely getting homework done, and my ee is a mess, and I keep losing and forgetting things, and teachers keep putting all major assignments on the same day, and my whole at home life is driving me crazy, and golf is coming to a close and I keep missing school events, and I still don't have a licence, and now I'm rambling about things that have nothing to do with prom comm except that their keeping me from it. So I don't know what to do about prom comm except hang on to it desperately and hope everything settles down.

Hiking

There have been no hiking trips because we have been unable to solidify a final cape hike date. Right now we're looking at Nov. 14th.

EFA

The last meeting went alright, we only had half attendance but we're really getting a move on with starting to fundraise, much better than last year :)

student council

Jade and Jake won. I kind of knew they would but I still wanted to win. But I'm glad they won because Jake is great art reaching out to people but hes also a great listener and Jade has so many great ideas and shes very organized and efficient. I still get to bve and admin. so I guess thats ok... I'm happy for Jake and Jade.

Prom comm.

Open house was a huge success, we raised over 500 dollars. I felt a little uninvolved because I was watching the academic teams table. But I did mention my octoberfest idea, I had wanted to do it for another club, but we couldn't, and molly and mrs.hyer and I were able to put it together into a real possibility, I'm so excited. Then we thouht of the idea where we would get some companies like party lights and silpada and arbonne to come and do a show/ sale type thing, we could make so much money. Also, yesterday afternoon, we scoped out the cape codder. It wasa beautiful place, the room was nice and air conditioned, the layout wqas great. But the room will be very dim, there's no windows, and the colorscheme isn't so good. But we'll make it work, thats our job. I'm very excited.

EFA

The first meeting went great we have a bunch of new members. But I couldn't go to the second meeting because I had to see guidance so it all went down in flames again, as long as it doesn't end like last year, I'll be ok.

student council

I am now running with Chandler as my vp. He made us a really awesome poster and he has some great ideas so I'm happy to be running with him. We're giving speeches at lunch today, I'm not that nervous, I don't have much prepared but I have a general idea of what I'm gonna say.

prom comm

Black and white new york won! So now we ahve a prom theme. We are working on fundraisers:
The tddi bruschi helmet wont be in until later but ew still have the palios fundraiser for open house. We are also planning a huge yard sale for parent teacher confrences. The prom will be on the 29th at the cape codder, I want to visit but my golf scheduel is so messed up that I have no idea what I'll be doing after school on any given day... but overall we've got a great start this year.

Hiking 2009-10

We had our first hike of the year already! The first half was great, I was suprised at how well my muscels held out. THen the second half was miserable. It rained, we had to backtrack for 2 miles, it poured, we had to cross a freaky military base, we were cold and wet and tired and hungry, and we had to bushwhack for 1/4 of a mile in brambles. Butwe kept going and looking back overall it was very adventurous and I got some graet pictures on my phone. And I was barely sore.
