Announcements September 28

Fundraisers:

We are asking students to sell 6 squares each for the LSU game. So far the majority have been able to sell them easily and we would rather do 2 pools and cut out a smaller fundraiser. If you are a parent of two students and you are going to have trouble selling the 12 let me know. I can see if some of the students with larger family members can sell a few extra to help. I know its hard with two kids involved in multiple things

Oct 16th - Elementary Tournament. I need help at 3:15 PM setting up and then proctoring tests, putting them in order and deciding on winners. Students should bring a change of clothes to school and plan on staying right after school.

Oct 17th- ACT math workshop. MAO students are welcome to come but this is a fundraiser/opportunity to raise ACT scores. They do not have to come. However, we ask that they spread the word to their friends and even other schools.

October 9th there will be a bake sale

October 25 there will be a doughnut sale benefiting nationals students. Order forms will go home later this week.

We are sending out order forms for calculator covers this week. As I get orders I will start passing them along with a prototype to those who volunteered to sew.


Nationals

Please get students' contracts in as soon as possible. Even if you are lacking the deposit I need to start making arrangements. To clarify: the summer practices are planned around student's schedules. If they are involved in sports and other activities we work around that. There are three of us leading practices so we have a lot of flexibility. We are greatly in need of younger students to go. We need Geometry and Algebra II level students at this point in time.

Tournaments

Permission slips went out for Lafayette today. Please return them by Thursday October 1.
There will be another get together after Lafayette location TBA. Depending on the number of people attending it will either be at my house or my mom's house. It is STRONGLY encouraged that students attend our social events. We have to get to know one another to work as a team.

November 7th we have a tournament at De La Salle
November 14th we have a tournament at Ben Franklin

Miscellaneous

We are looking for candy/gift card donations for incentives for individual placements. A king size candy bar or a $5 to $10 dollar gift card will be great.

Please remind your child to look over their material for a tournament. We do as well as each person so it is important to review before competing. Also students need to be sure they bring their pencils and graphing calculators to every tournament.
