The Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church holds parties and festivals for children from homeless shelters throughout the year to make sure they don’t miss out on the fun that other children have. Last year, H.O.P.E. held a Holiday Drive to provide Christmas presents for the children and helped at the Fall Festival where the children participated in a variety games and activities. 

Please place the money and the attached donation form inside an envelope with your name, OSIS #, and H.O.P.E. and bring it to Mrs. Nottingham in room 1W2! If you cannot print the donation form, you will be able to find some copies in room 7C1 by Ms. Yvette's desk after 7th period tomorrow. 

You will be able to earn up to 20 points by raising $10!!!

It's the month of October, which means Halloween is just 30 days away!! :) In order to make this year's Halloween more memorable for the Tech community, we have decided to bring back TREATS FOR TEACHERS, except earlier!! :) 

Treats For Teachers is an event which shows teachers that we as students appreciate everything they do. What's a better way to show them appreciation than through sweets?! :)

WHEN: Monday, October 5, 2015 - Monday, October 19, 2015

WHERE: A box labeled "TREATS FOR TEACHERS" will be placed in room 7C1. You can put the bag(s) of candy in the box during your lunch period or after school if you do not have a lunch period!!

INSTRUCTIONS: Make sure to place your donations in a bag with a note that has the following information---your NAME, OSIS#, and a list of all the clubs you are in, from the clubs listed below in the point system section. If you do not follow these instructions, you will not be able to receive all the points that you deserve. 

REQUIREMENTS: Each bag of candy MUST be at least 10 ounces in order for us to count it. All candy inside the bag must be PACKAGED. We do not want scattered candy. 

THIS IS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO NOT ONLY DO SOMETHING SUPER NICE, BUT ALSO EARN SOME POINTS TOO!! 

Aside from H.O.P.E., NHS, BETA, Red Cross, Key Club and Outreach are all participating!! This means that if you are in more than one of the clubs listed above, you will have the opportunity to earn points for all those clubs! :) 

POINT SYSTEM: Read the point system below carefully because not all the clubs are giving the same amount of points for each bag of candy. 

H.O.P.E. -- Maximum Points: 20 (10 points per bag) 

NHS -- Maximum Points: 20 (10 points per bag) 

BETA -- Maximum Points: 20 (10 points per bag)

THANK YOU !! :) 

Old members are probably familiar with the name "Table for Two" by now since we've had a few events with them over the past few months. For new members, Table for Two is an organization that addresses the imbalance between malnutrition and obesity around the world. They are currently partnering with Calbee to provide FREE bags of Snapeas, which are not only healthier than most snacks, but also delicious! For every bag that is distributed, Calbee will donate 25 cents to Table for Two to provide one healthy school meal to a hungry child in East Africa and our local community. 

H.O.P.E. will be distributing Snapeas in the center section of the cafeteria during lunch periods tomorrow, Thursday, October 1st. The Snapeas are limited to one bag per person, but everyone is welcome to come and take one! You'll be doing a good deed simply by taking a bag!

Thanks everyone! :)
