No Pajamas for Mardi Gras

A student asked about wearing pajamas for Mardi Gras. Pajamas are regarded as a violation of the school dress code and may not be part of the Mardi Gras costume. Athletic uniforms and street clothes are also prohibited as costumes. Be creative and wear a costume that looks like something a float rider might wear. Pirates, clowns, superheroes, jesters, movie characters, and cartoon characters (excluding Family Guy and similar cartoons) are encouraged.

Mardi Gras Costume Project

Mardi Gras is February 24.
I distributed the costume grading checklist in class.
No street clothes, no athletic uniforms. No credit if you break these rules!
Dress code enforced.
25 project points.

If you plan to do the extra-credit Mardi Gras projects see me by Friday of this week for more information.

Poinsettia Sales

Please bring your poinsettia forms and money in on Thursday. I would like to wrap up sales on Thursday if possible.

If sales fall short of our needs we may have to scale back the Mardi Gras celebration this year. We need each person to sell at least two to cover expenses.

Poinsettia Sales

Please bring your sales forms and money in on Wednesday if you are done selling. Friday is the final day to turn in funds and orders, but I would prefer to wrap things up on Thursday if possible.

If the fundraiser is not successful we may have to scale back our Mardi Gras celebration.

Remember -- the class with top per person sales wins a prize!

Poinsettia Sales

I want to remind you that we need each student to sell (or make an equivalent donation to) two poinsettias to fund our Mardi Gras celebration.

The class with top sales will have either a pizza celebration, ice cream celebration, or a McDonald's breakfast celebration (depending on the time of day that the class meets and a vote of the class members).
