Feed the Needy
Just wanted to get the word out about an event happening this Friday, December 21 during both lunches. The event in question is freerice.com, which is a website that allows you to donate rice through the United Nation food program. This doesn't cost you a penny and it improves your vocabulary. The student who amasses the most donations on Friday is eligible for the following prizes:
1. Dinner for two at the California Pizza Kitchen.
2. 2 LBS. of Starbucks coffee
3. $20 gift certificate from Tony J's Pizza.

This contest is being run by newspaper (mostly Amy Beck and I) it’s a very simple way to give back and its actually fun. So I hope you do come... I know it’s during lunch but its time well spent doing a great thing for others.
Thanks for plugging it Mr. Carlisle I’ll see you there right? haha

gsveyThanks Mr. Carlisle. Hey, we still need a teacher to oversee the whole contest in the computer lab during second lunch(our teacher can only be there for first)...do you think you might be able to?

I know you've given out your email a billion and a half times, but could I get it?
I have some questions about the format and such.
Thanks.

Hmm... I think my donations have been counting for nothing, because the ads on the site pay for the rice, and I have an ad-blocker installed >_>
Oops...

UGH I can't get past level 44. Anyone else notice the same words popping up...tee hee...like a freebie! Unless you get the same word wrong twice. Of course we all know history is about NOT repeating mistakes.
Ask Haley the vocab lesson of the evening.
