I’ve posted an announcement and also outside Mrs A-Y’s room, but all the cotton candy activities for this week have been canceled. There are not enough people signed up to make or sell it (and some of you didn’t show up when you were supposed to…) so it’s been canceled. Just a reminder that I am not going to do your fundraising for you….
Mr LaBelle will hold his normal hours this week and I will be in on Friday. Do you have a piece to present to me? I will also have bus slips for those of you who need to get one filled out.
Still needing t-shirt designs…..you dont want to make me draw something..it would be rather, well, pathetic….
Reminder there is also a $5 dollar activity fee that should be paid fairly shortly…..
Email me if you have any questions, comments, concerns at chamb202@msu.edu or find me through the facebook site.
Best,
Ms. C

Dear Team Members,
I want to thank you all for being so understanding with my schedule this past weekend. I know that many of you blocked out time (which is not an easy task I know) and then I had to cancel on you. My deepest apologies. For those of you I was able to meet with on Friday evening, I have a record of your ‘balance’ if you would like to know what you made. Overall in terms of sales, we did ok. The weather was kinda icky this past weekend so that played a big part too.
Assuming the school gives us the green light, I would like to sell cotton candy at lunch time the two days before Halloween (Monday and Tues) and then on Halloween itself. Those of you I had to cancel on will have first go at signing up for this event. I will also need people to sign up to sell at lunch. Let me go over my ’selling at lunch’ policies:
~Be on time. Not only on getting to the table, but on getting to your next class. I can NOT write you passes. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to get where you need to be when you need to be there.
~Be courteous. We are working in a common space with our fellow students – not enemies. Beyond that, you will always win more customers that way.
~Be neat. No one wants to buy anything from someplace that looks sloppy. Beyond that-school personal (principals and janitors alike) should not have to pick up behind you. Cleaning up is part of doing the job right.
~Be creative! Posters will need to be made to be put on the table and windows and heaven knows that I can’t draw. Also, the key in making the cotton candy really sell is ‘hawking’ it. If you can come up with a slogan, you sell twice as much.
Mr LaBelle will be putting signup sheets for lunch and ‘making’ out side Mrs AY’s room.
Also remember that no fundraising ‘credit’ is given for selling at lunch. This is simply just being part of the team. Credit is earned through the actual ‘making’ of the product.
Next item of business: I am still missing t-shirt designs!!!!! Get those creative juices flowing!
Also, I still need parent letters, bus slips, and $5 dollars from many of you. I will be in on Friday this week. PLEASE COME SEE ME!!!!!!! Even if you just want to say hi…I like to see your shining faces 
Alright. Keep in touch, and I’ll see you all on friday.

Hi all,
I realized last week that I said that I would be in this Friday to start rehearsals, BUT I forgot that it conflicts with the work I need to do at Color Cruise. That being said: 1)Practice with Mr LaBelle will still be held on Wednesday. You need to check with him if he is planning to come in on Friday 2) We will still make cotton candy friday evening. I will meet everyone at the english side of the school. 3) A side note on cotton candy, what we sell on Friday will be an indication of what we sell the other days, and of course weather is a factor (people won’t buy if its raining etc). I hope to be successful, but you never know.
As always, email me with any questions,
Ms. C

Heya!
What a great meeting today. Alot of you came to me with great ideas and I can’t wait to see what some of you come up with! I see a lot of talent in this group. A few reminders and pointers:
~Rehersals/Practices start next week Weds and Fri. You need to be there one of those days.
~If you have not given me your parent letter/permission slip/ $5 activity fee you need to do so within the next two weeks
~I still have no submissions for a T-Shirt Design for the season -get those creative juices flowing!
~I’m really glad so many of you were able to give your time to make cotton candy next weekend. I will post the list as a link on the right hand side of the page so you can double check.
~On a fund raising note, our next opportunity will be the days leading up to Halloween when we will sell it at lunch, so those of you who are unable to contribute this time around will have an opportunity next time. I would also note here that you will not recieve ‘a slice of the money pie’ for selling at lunch, only if you help at a ‘producer’ level. More to come on that later…
~Hopefully I will have a more concrete tournament schedule in the coming weeks, please be patient.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me chamb202@msu.edu or talk to Mr. LaBelle.
~Ms. C
