Pumpkin Patch, Cross Country, Flag Football, 8th Grade Auction Volunteers, Online Calendar
Pumpkin Patch - Responsibilities by Grade
Thanks to Donna Abare, the Hillcrest Pumpkin Patch is back in action. Each week, the patch will be open on Tuesdays and Thursday, and we need home made treats to be sold those two days. The 8th graders are due to provide treats this week (nothing like late notice!), the 7th graders next week, and the 6th graders the week of October 23rd. This is a big money maker for the middle school, and helps defray the costs of the spring field trip, so please buy some pumpkins and help your child bake those cookies! Also, on Saturday, October 21st from 10-2, there will be a costume exchange. Clean out those closets and send in gently worn costumes your children don't need anymore.
Cross Country - #2 Again!
The 7th/8th grade girls' cross country team is on a roll! They came in 2nd again this week with Julia Eylar, Kendall Williams, and Hanna Weisenberger taking 8, 9, and 10th places! (Albany took the first 7 places, so we did really great!) Come out and watch them run tomorrow, Thursday, and Martin Luther King school in Berkeley at 4:15.
Flag Football - Game Tomorrow!
If you can't make the cross country meet, come watch our coed flag football team in action at Marcus Foster field, on 29th between MLK and West. We've had two close losses, so this should be another exciting game. Practice on Friday will be discussed tomorrow at the game.
8th Grade Auction Volunteers
Fiona Jackson will be contacting the 8th graders who have volunteered to work at this year's auction. She will verify that they will be in town, and are available to work. Working at the auction is a benefit of being an 8th grader, and is greatly appreciated by the auction committee. However, if yours is unavailable, please let Fiona know.
Online Calendar
I am trying to put all middle school events on the online calendar. You can access the calendar at the www.hillcrestpta.org website by clicking on Middle School, and then Calendar on the listing on the left. If you have an activity you'd like me to add, please let me know.
