Oh My! Here Comes Charity Drive!

Friday, February 5th is the day! Charity Drive starts at Tillamook High School. Our big sign is up in the main gym. Check it out...it's a "confetti theme" and it's awesome! A big thank you to all of the students that stayed late and glued letters on and cut the confetti. We had fun (?) hanging the signs on Thursday night. Logan, Emily, Kennady, Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Schwend helped us get those huge pieces of paper up on the gym wall. Between tangled gobs of tape and checking to see if everything was straight and attached, we had a lot of laughs. Thanks crew for a fun evening. One thing I know for sure, don't trust me with the tape. Kara Rhodes had to fix my entanglement in the tape department! The letters shine on the sign, thanks to Kim Durrer's Cricket Machine. Everyone got in on running the machine and attaching the letters. It was slow going at first, but absolutely worth it.

Bill Baertlein is heading up the concessions and is making his calls and organizing the "grand opening" on Friday night at the BB game. Our CheeseMan Gear has been ordered. Get ready to purchase a t-shirt or sweatshirt with the vintage CheeseMan and benefit the Freshman Class. They'll make great gifts, that's for sure.

Lisa McKibbin is taking students around to gather awesome Silent Auction items. If you have anything to donate or know of someone that might offer an item or a service, please contact Lisa McKibbin or us at the high school.

Do not buy groceries during the Charity Drive! Delicious dinners are being planned and, let me tell you, we have great organizers! Turkey, Ham, BBQ & Chili will make perfect dinners during the drive. Invite all of your family and friends to attend as well. Dinners are one of the main ways we will raise funds! If you want to help, please call and we will match you up with a dinner! Serving...clean up...supervising the kids can be a real blast!

Well, gotta run...once again, thank you for allowing us to work with your students. They are a fine group of young people and yeah...they ROCK!

Charity Drive is Almost Here!

It's coming up fast! Class of 2013's first Charity Drive experience begins on February 5th. We have a great group of Freshman and we are excited to watch them ROCK during the drive. Student Chairs, Logan Schieno, Kennady Johnson and Emily Schwend are raring to go and have already put in a lot of time in the planning stages. The turnout for our Parent Meeting last week was wonderful! Your support is appreciated and a special thank you to all who generously signed up to "Adult Chair" and assist on the many committees and activities. "Many Hands Make Light Work" really applies to Charity Drive. Encourage your student to get involved and help their class succeed.

Check out the Freshman Class Charity Drive Calendar and plan to attend all of the delicious dinners. Just think...save on groceries during the drive and share your meals with the Freshman Class! We are determined that no one will go away from our dinners hungry!

If you have any questions, please call Kim, Kara or Shelley at THS.

Here we go...it's almost "Showtime!"
