This Week

Hello,

Any SADD member who needs papers signed by Josh Tackett (e.g. for National Honor Society) or is interested in the Friday March 27 Compliance Check should come by the main office right after school on Wednesday, March 25. He will be happy to answer any questions about any activities as well. Because there is already a ton going on this week, there will not be an announcement for this. So if you need to see him, don't forget! :)


Next topic: Prom Skits. We're almost done! We determined the schedule for those. NEXT (sorry) Monday the 30th, after school, Tim's Prom Skit #2 will be finishing up their act. As for a full rehearsal for everyone in skits, Tuesday the 31st we will run all skits starting with #1. We are planning to go to 3 15 but will take a few extra minutes if needed. As for my #3 skit, I will have the script to you by then (more like guidlines) so that the first couples times you can refresh your memories and take them home for yourselves. This might be a good idea for the other directors as well; maybe distribute guidlines for your members of your skits. These will most likely be in Mr. Weiderman's room (214) again, I'll let you know if he tells me otherwise. Katie volunteered to make signs for different 'scenes' as well. As for performing these goes: Our junior class advisor has not been in school for a while, and so we don't know if/when there will be a junior prom meeting. If there is one, it would most likely be Thursday or Friday during school, or Thursday evening. In the case it is in school, Mr. Farrell will request permission for you to miss some of your class. We're sorry for the delayed information; our advisor has not even responded to emails. We will be performing our skits for the community in April, Josh Tackett still is working with plans for that one; he should be getting back to me this week. I'll let you know ASAP. And we are planning to jump in on the Senior prom meeting granting everything goes as planned. That will be May 21st, probably after school in the evening. Then again it may be in school. We need responses from advisors, as you can see. Thank you to all helping in this, your efforts and cooperation have been tremendous! What a great team. Onto the next activity... our smoke-free campaign.


As for the 84 Campaign this week... those planning to man the tables for each lunch can come down at the regular time, just remember to get to the table right away. There you will find the list of missions; for now concentrate mainly on getting the signatures and there will be a box we made today that has 84s all over it, and in that box tell people to drop reasons to be tobacco-free! About the pledges: Today I gave some of you papers that say "Sign the 84 Smoke Free Pledge: I agree to be smoke free!". Get as many signatures as possible from your friends, your classmates, and your teachers; and when you go to man the tables at lunch you will find about 3 or so more. Keep one at the table, and with the other two you can go around after and ask some of your friends at tables who haven't signed yet or have forgotten. Also, there will be the folders and informational pamphlets at the table that kids can look at if they want. Or you can just rattle off some lesser-known facts about the dangers of tobacco if you'd like. :) So at the end, I know Sam has third lunch. She or anyone else doing 3rd knows to put the table back in the room. In addition, if they don't let you keep the box back there, Sam, you can give it to me (and any additional materials) during band; I have no problem stashing it in my locker/asking for more reasons. Tshirts, for a reminder... tomorrow (Tuesday) is White underneath and Wednesday is Black underneath your 84 Ambassador shirts. Jena, I have a small 84 tshirt for you, and Josh or Sam may have another for members without one; we discussed that today during advisement. If someone still does not have one from last time, maybe you could pin something that says 84 to a shirt, so people know you are involved. Feel free to wear an 84 pin from last time/share with someone without one! Oh yes and one last thing. Have fun with this! We love being tobacco-free! :)


Once again thank you so much for your participation and enthusiasm. See you tomorrow with the list of missions!

- Gabby :)
