7th Grade Information

 

 

7th grade Beta Club will be selling boxes of donuts and/or certificates for $7.00.  We will be selling in the car line Tuesday morning at 7:45 a.m. We have 10 students signed up to help sell that morning. Don't worry. If your child did not get to sign up for this one, we are going to have 2 other mornings and opportunities to sell.
   
 
We have not received the Chic-Fil-A calendars yet. As soon as we do, we will let you/your child know that they are here. We hope that they will be able to sell at least 5. The cost of these is $6.00. Please encourage them to ask teachers and other school personnel!

 

All money raised will be used to offset the convention expenses. I hope that your child has spoken with you about the convention because we have had 45 students sign up to participate in a competition!

 

During the meeting last week we discussed and signed up for our convention competitions. We are only allowed one person/team per competition event so we will have a "mini-competition" for the events that had more than one person/team sign-up. Information about your child's event should have come home last week. If your child is competing with another person, they will need to turn in their project by October 21. We will let them know on Monday if he/she will be representing Hughes in that particular category. If their project is not selected, they may elect to participate in another event in which no one has signed up to do. The only requirement to go on the trip is that they compete in one event. As long as they competed on the school level, they will still be eligible to attend. Also, they will need to complete at least 5 hours of community service which is due on October 31.

 

  

8th Grade Information

 

 

The order form and money for Poinsettia's are due to Mrs. Merck on October 20.

We will also begin selling our Belk Charity Days on October 17. We will give each student an envelope with 10 certificates and a brochure of what will be on sale that weekend (Nov. 5). They will count and sign a slip that states how many they are responsible for. They will either turn in the money or the unsold certificates. The cost is $5.00 and we keep it ALL! This money will be used toward the trip as well.

 

To those interested we have Beta Club sweatshirts on sale until October 12. Please turn in your money and order form to Mrs. Armistead if you would like to order one.
