Ch. 10 ID List

Your Chapter 10 ID list is due on Wednesday, 11/25. No excuses. You will have a quiz an chapters 8 & 9 on that day. Enjoy the rest of your weekend ;)

Thanksgiving Giving Item collection

No one has posted what they are bringing, even though some have spoken to me about it. We need to have a list because we don't want to have 20 cans of corn and nothing else. I was able to get some ribbon and cellophane paper to wrap the baskets, but I didn't find baskets. If any of you have baskets that you are willing to donate from home, it would be great. Please guys, let's make this happen. We only have til Friday to get this done! The families are counting on us.

Thanksgiving Giving

Key Club is holding a club/homeroom competition to see who creates the most original and complete Thanksgiving basket. Period 1 will participate and represent our homeroom. The criteria is:

* Your basket should be creative and complete, meaning there should be all aspects of a traditional Thanksgiving meal in the basket. (Turkeys and gift cards will be supplied so we have that covered). Be sure to include utensils, napkins, and plates.
* Be creative: Have students include a personal Thanksgiving memory or their favorite recipe and have them bring in the necessary ingredients for it. (This is where the love comes in!! :)
* All baskets must contain non-perishables to avoid contamination.
* Basket MUST be completed and ready for pick up by November 20
* This project begins immediately.

Each group will be assigned an anonymous family so they will be counting on us.

I want to create several baskets, so you will be divided into groups. The group with the best, and most creative basket will win an award! Let's get this done people! They're counting on us.

What to include in the basket:
* Mashed potatoes (instant)
* Stuffing Mix
* canned corn, green beans, yams, etc.
* cranberry sauce
* gravy jars
* Thanksgiving themed plates, napkins, & utensils
* Dry, non-perishable ingredients for your favorite recipes
* Any large baskets, ribbon, or other decorating items you may have at home (I will be bringing some things in as well)
* Any other non-perishable Thanksgiving item I have forgotten to mention

Please post a comment with what you plan on bringing if you are willing and able to participate. Thanks!
