De-stress Baskets

Who here knows about the college process? Well if there's one word to describe it, I'm sure that many of you would agree with me, when I say it's STRESSFUL. Well the truth is, not only are students stressed by the college process, guidance counselors have been working tirelessly trying to either perfect their recommendation letters for each student or assisting the student in the process itself or both. To give guidance counselors prop for all the hard work that they have done and in fact is still doing, we are deciding on making them gift baskets to help them de-stress. But we CAN'T do it without you! (Even if you're not going through the college process yet, it's only a matter of time, so don't hesitate to help out too) The following is a list of items we are putting into our "de-stress" gift baskets and their point values. 1. One mug (A basic coffee mug/cup will do the job) --- 5 POINTS 2. A box of at least 10 tea bags (All types of tea are welcome) --- 5 POINTS 3. A scented candle --- 5 POINTS 4. 2 stress relief balls--- 5 POINTS 5. At least 1 fluid oz of stress relief hand sanitizer -- 5 POINTS Through this event, not only are you able to show your appreciation for all of Tech's guidance counselors, you can also gain 10 WHOLE POINTS!!! DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER. Items should be brought to room 7C1. There will be a box labeled H.O.P.E.

Sugar-Free Items Donation Box

HI GUYS!

JUST WANTED TO CLEAR UP SOME INFORMATION REGARDING FUTURE H.O.P.E. DONATIONS (i.e. THE SUGAR FREE TREATS DONATION FOR MR. KAELIN).

Since 7C1 has new furniture, we have to accommodate the location of our donation box. H.O.P.E.'s donation box is currently located on the shelf next to MS. YVETTE's desk, directly across from MR. TORRES's office. There are four cabinet slots, H.O.P.E.'s donation box is in the BOTTOM RIGHT corner.

NOTE: For the SUGAR-FREE TREATS DONATIONS, we labeled our box simply "H.O.P.E. DONATIONS" since we don't want Mr. Kaelin to find out about the surprise.

THANK YOU :)

Sugar-Free Items for Mr. Kaelin's Birthday Party!

In order to thank Mr. Kaelin, one of Tech’s most beloved staff (not only is he the advisor for NHS, he also teaches pre-calc and works in the COSA office, assisting students with club activities). H.O.P.E. has decided to throw Mr. Kaelin a HAPPY BIRTHDAY party, but because Mr. Kaelin has diabetes, he is not able to eat anything with sugar. How AWFUL is that? He can't eat most types of chocolate and cake and other delicious desserts. So in order to provide him a FANTASTIC birthday party, we need your help. If you can, please bring in any sugar-free pastries you can find (i.e. sugar-free cookies, sugar-free chocolates, and pretty much anything else sugar-free). Points will be awarded based on the items you bring in. Every box of cookies is worth 10 points, and a bag of chocolate is also worth 10 points. Each box/bag must be 10 ounces or more. If you have any questions about the item you want to bring in, you can ask either the President, Sandy Chan, or Secretary, Helen Ding. :) Please bring the items to room 7C1 (There will be a box in the office labeled H.O.P.E. DONATION). This donation drive will start November 4th and end November 5th. Make sure to place your donation into a plastic bag with your name, OSIS number, and H.O.P.E.
