<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
And the answer to that age old question is "YES! It <u>is</u> finally
Friday!" In a matter of a few hours there will be a mass exodus as
students, faculty and staff all rush to make their escape and start
their glorious week of Thanksgiving break. Woohoo! I'm ready! I like
being here, but I like being home too. It's good for the soul, it just
doesn't pay the bills.<br>
<br>
While you're off , those of you who like to do arts and crafts might
want to decorate a wreath for the Characters Club fundraiser coming up
on Tues. Dec. 2. This will be right after we get back from break, so
the week off will be perfect for working on a wreath or two for this
event. You can do a Christmas wreath or a themed wreath, whatever
you'd like. (I'm thinking of making a dog themed one, since I'm in
PAWS.) We have several students who were selected to compete in San
Marcos, TX the last week in February and this is going to take money.
Please be generous and make a wreath to donate, and plan to buy a
wreath for your home or office or both, for yourself or a friend, or
just make a donation to help these kids meet this goal. Any donation
or help will be greatly appreciated. These kids and their teachers do
wonderful work and really need and deserve our support. For more
information about the Characters Club Christmas fundraiser contact
Melissa Heath-Lee at Ext. 758 or 465-1758.<br>

I got an email from a couple of friends with this wonderful, heartfelt
Thanksgiving poem in it and I just had to share it with you all. Not
sure who wrote it, but I certainly agree with the sentiment.<br>

Poem<br>

May your stuffing be tasty,<br>
May your turkey be plump,<br>
May your potatoes and gravy<br>
Have never a lump.<br>
May your yams be delicious,<br>
And your pies take the prize,<br>
And may your Thanksgiving dinner<br>
Stay off your thighs!<br>
