Revised message: Fall State and Halloween

Dear JSA Members!

The Recycling program is going well, and Brennan plans to convert to school wide.

Fall State is coming up, so on November 6, 2007 we will discuss what you should bring.

We have agreed to have a comedic debate. The audience will choose the topic.

If you read this, comment your name so we know you did.

Please shorten your blog entries because people can not possibly want to read the AP English essays you write on here...

Fall State, Halloween and much more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey yall,
The recycling fund raiser is going pretty well so keep up the good work! Remember, you are also helping to make the world a better, brighter place. I have noticed that only one person has let us know they have been reading the blogs. Please let us know by posting a comment. All you have to do is put your name and the word read to let us know you read it. This is one of the simpler things in this grand thing we humanoids call life. This Tuesday we will be beginning our meeting by going around the room and saying what we are going to be (our costumes) and our favorite candy/what candy we hope to get to add a little oomph to the meeting. If your costume is a surprise you don't have to say, but we might try to get it out of you. LOL. No, I am serious (not really, but whatever). The meeting Tuesday before Fall State (yay) will be reserved for going over proper attire, behavior and what needs to be packed (I believe this meeting is November 6th.) Remember, we are representing Hollywood High. If you still would like to attend it is not too late. You will have to pay ten dollars extra. trip-slips can be found at jsa.org ! Fall State is November 10th and 11th! I hope that many of you were able to attend the one-day conference/convention at USC today (even though UCLA is better!) My apologies for not attending, I had my college final at LACC and am sick. My brother also had his 2 college finals. If anyone who is going can take pictures at fall state and at the events such as the dance and the quiz that would be greatly appreciated. I am in no way going to be at the dance like I had to last year to take pictures. Warning: the dance is very dark and loud with tons of brightly flashing lights and something that I would not call dancing goes on in there. I guess if you are into that sort of thing you would be a great candidate for our fall state photographer! Enjoy your weekends! Only 10 days to Halloween (and my mom's birthday, which you really don't need to know unless... lets just say gift and money donations are always welcome to help me pay. LOL.) Yay, ok, Halloween around the corner. HAPPY HAPPY! See you all Tuesday.Don't forget what you are going as for Halloween and your favorite candy! Stay awesome!




Happy early Halloween, (yay!)

Upfate

So, we had the garage sale today. Only Jonathan and Jasmin showed up (Alexandria made it at the time we agreed upon, but we'll get to that later). In total, we made $5 off of the garage sale, which is a major hit as it's usually our big fundraiser. Few people showed up or donated anything. We ended up closing sometime around 11 AM simply due to the fact that nothing was selling. I thank Jonathan and Jasmin very much, as well as Alexandria (although I do apologize to her, as she came when she said she would). This means that anyone going to Fall State is going to have to pay far more than we had originally hoped, full price out of pocket, as we have very little left over in the account from last year, and we have no time to get to that money in the account. I understand if people no longer want or can afford to go. Please contact Elise accordingly. We also need your registration forms and money by tomorrow. I know it is short notice, but it really isn't, as we have been saying, over and over and over again; the deadline is October 9 for registration, and we need to know whether or not you are going and all papers before then, probably right after the yard sale. The yard sale is over. October 9 is tomorrow. We need them now if you want to go. Try and find me or Elise once you have your money and registration slip (the one signed by both you and your parent). Elise will probably be in the library during nutrition and I will be at the tables next to the library during lunch. I also hope that you prepared for the debate tomorrow concerning the Florida University tasering. That's all for now.

Time To Yell At Each Other With Loud Voices

Jeezus Brennan enough criticism

We are going to debate this topic next week:
Resolved, police action in Florida incident is not justified.

CONTACT ELISE AND BRENNAN ABOUT FALL STATE!!!
You can contact me, but I will just end up telling Brennan and Elise so contact them instead :D

My Hands Are Most Definitely On My Waist

Come on, guys; we have something like twenty people in the club, six of whom are officers, and, from the information I have been able to gather, we couldn't get ONE PERSON to attend the convention at UCLA this weekend. I know it isn't as big as Fall State, but a lot of the people who were there will be at Fall State- including moderators and general administrators. It was the first event of the school year, and we missed it. What really gets to me is not the fact that we didn't have people go, so much as the fact that there were people who said that they would. This greatly disappoints me. Please try to keep your commitments in the future. A promise is a promise, no matter how big or small. Don't put yourself out there for others to count on in the future if there's a significant chance that you can't do it in the end or when it matters.

Other than that, we have the garage sale this weekend, right before the deadline for Fall State registration. We have been asking people to inform us whether or not they are going to Fall State, WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN GO, just so we know, and we still have not had even 25% of the club inform us. Please do so soon- if you miss the deadline, there is nothing I can do. It is far above my head. You've had a couple weeks to decide, and we need to know. Other than that, start telling people, start advertising, and start getting the stuff you want to sell together so that it can be sold.

Meeting tomorrow, October 2, in Ms. Tobenkin's room as always.
