I am posting a copy of the volunteer and information letter that is going home to all families this week. The actual letter is hard to miss: bright yellow (actually "Goldenrod")
Hello Parents and Guardians,
This year, please mark Friday, November 6, 2009 from 6:30 – 8:30p.m. on your calendar for
NOVEMBER NONSENSE
Most of you know “something” about George Street’s NOVEMBER NONSENSE… for those of you new to the school this year, you may have heard about this event since it is much anticipated, well-attended, and holds a reputation all on its own.
NOVEMBER NONSENSE is George Street Middle School’s Annual Family Fun Night and is a huge highlight for students, parents, staff, and also represents the biggest and only fundraising event of the Home and School Association. Funds raised are directed to educational purchases and projects for students and staff such as sound systems for classrooms, projectors, cafeteria tables, music/band, sports and many more.
This year’s NOVEMBER NONSENSE promises to bring back the popular attractions that everyone loves. There will be lots to keep you entertained and it is truly a great way to support your kids and your school. As in the past we will be holding a silent auction during the evening.
NOVEMBER NONSENSE does involve a planning committee and a large team of volunteers. On the back is an information sheet listing all volunteer possibilities. A small amount of time (1 hour) and effort on the part of many will go a long way. Please take a few moments to see how you can contribute to this school event. Keep in mind that older siblings make great volunteers. Volunteers also receive free admission to the event. Homeroom teachers will be asking students for the returned forms, so please try to return them promptly.
If you are interested in joining the planning committee, it’s not too late. Please check your voice messages to hear when our next meeting will be or contact Karen Wishart (H&S President) at 454-0463 or send her an email at nwishart@nb.sympatico.ca. On behalf of George Street Home and School, thank you in advance for your support.
To parents who own and/or manage a Fredericton business: please consider donating an item, service or gift card to the November Nonsense Silent Auction. Contributors are prominently recognized at the November Nonsense event and on the school website throughout the year. Donated items can be dropped off at the office anytime.
