And the winner of the award for best actor in an original play goes to.....

Hannah ushered in our class on Thursday with her Leader in the News.  She educated us on Malala Yousafzai's mission for education for all (especially girls.)

She is an amazing example of courage, endurance, and knowledge.  She IS a good leader and so inspiring.  She has made a difference at such a young age.  Thank you, Hannah!!

Much applause is deserved by you leadership thespians. And Mrs. Schmieder was a little too good at playing two characters, wouldn't you agree?  She jumped from Leo to Jill like it was nothing.  Is there some community theater on her resume that we don't know about?  If I was a queen, I would declare Mrs. Schmieder become Dame Schmieder.

But the winner of the $5 bill goes to Ethan Riggle.  I felt he truly understood his character.  He captured Maria's essence.  He brought out her snottiness through his acting.  Excellent job!  Don't forget to get your payment on Thursday.

We took away so much from those cool kids.  They demonstrated what NOT to do, but also represented the spirit of a club filled with enthusiastic, motivated members with poor communication and execution skills.  Thank you, Cool Kids Club! We pledge never to forget our poor Cheryl and to always have a Plan B.

After shedding our cool kid characters, things got a little spooky as we listened to Halloween job proposals.  Paige turned in an exceptional plan for the Halloween party decor.  Her ideas and plan easily secured her the place of top decorator for the party.  She will be helped by Taylor and Hannah.  

After some minor skirmishes over quidditch, ticket prizes and M.C. duties, this is where the assignments landed.....

HOMEWORK - 2 PARTS!!!

1)For homework, you are to fill out the activity plan on page 16 of your binder for our Halloween Extravaganza.  It will be held October 26, 2017 after FILA classes are over.  It will be from 3 - 4:30 p.m.  You may not know everything listed on the page, fill in what you can!

2)Also, you need to start developing a solid plan for your portion of the party.  Here are some things you need to get nailed down:

Decor - plan for the the room (tables, chairs, decor, etc), BUDGET NEEDS, items needed (Paige has a great list started!)  Hannah and Taylor be ready to present this plan because Paige will be gone for volleyball during 4th hour.

Costume contest:  Who will judge?  How many judges?  Categories for costumes?  When will the judging take place?  When will the winners be announced?  We were planning to make the skeleton trophies again...is that what you want for prizes?  

Activity Room:  What games will you be providing?  Time length?  Who will run the games?  Building materials for the game?  Budget?  Prizes for games?  Room decor?  etc.

Music/DJ assistant/Dance Games:  Talk with Genevieve about the playlist.  Dance games?  Prizes?  Budget?  Numbers on the dance floor? ETc.

Communications:  How are you going to get the info out?  Posters, email, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Telephone, Carrier Birds, announcements at lunch, TV commercials?  Budget for poster making?

Refreshment Table: SIGN UP SHEET needs to be made. (We don't want to buy forks or spoons so designate that they need to bring finger foods.)   Circulate the sign-up sheet during lunchtime and during parent meeting.   Do you want water container?  Budget for napkins, plates, cups, etc?   Table set-up---talk to Paige about decorations on the table. I (Mrs. Poyer) will gladly help you with this, Spencer : )!  

If you have questions, Mrs. Schmieder and I have answers (or will get them!)

We LOVE you all SO much!!  This class is a joy.  We want you to succeed and will do everything in our power to help you do so!

This week come prepared to make some HARD CHOICES!!  Because that's what leaders do : )!  And we are going to talk about MONEY!!

Also, turn in those Golden Circles if you have not yet done so.

THANK  YOU!!
