Hey guys! This is just a mini update.
Just letting you know Emma, Court, Annie and I (Quinn) stayed after the Invisible Children showing and talked for a little bit about Halloween rooms. We designed the room and decided where we want to put the pirates and stuff... did anyone volunteer to design the rocks for the mermaids? And Courtney also wanted to put up streamers and maybe even decorative lights (like christmas lights) just to make the room more interesting... and also try to put your things together before we get to the school on Sunday because ICC decided to cancel the setup on Saturday and so we need to be there by 1pm at the latest! we only have 2 hours to throw together a kick but Halloween room... And don't forget your COSTUMES!!!! YAY!
ps: I apologize if this blog post does not make sense... i am getting sick and haven't really been paying attention all day so if you have questions just comment and I will try to clarify when my head isn't as cluttered... :D bye!

IC Update
Hey guys!
The Invisible Children viewing is tomorrow! Bring your friends! Post it on Facebook! Scream it to the world! "The rebels are coming"! (reference to their fall tour... Ha. Ha. Get it? I'm clever.)
Make sure to bring what you signed up to bring! Those assignments should all be listed in the posts down below.
Just to get everyone in the mood, I check out this video just posted by Invisible Children's Jason Russell, one of the co-founders and original filmmakers. I think that we need to do this! Whip our hair back and forth, fo sho!
Brainstorm ideas for us to get started with! We can make such a huge difference!
Thanks!

Class Announcements for IC viewing
Here's something along the lines of what you should say:
"Hi! Next week on Tuesday after school from 3:15-4:30 is a showing of a documentary called Invisible Children. It is about the war that started in Uganda where children are taken from their homes and used as child soldiers. It is a very emotional and inspirational video and it is very good. The Do Something Club is hosting it and there will be free snacks! SO if you aren't doing anything you should go!"
Thats not the best but it gets the point across... and ask some of your teachers if you can just stand up there for a minute and tell people... don't forget to say there is food!

Meeting 10/12/10
Hey guys! How's it goin?
So first of all, we were talking about the Homecoming parade (our theme is Scooby Doo by the way) and this is what we have for characters:
Shaggy-Angus
Freddy-Alysia
Scooby-Charlee
Velma-Courtney
Daphne-Carmella
Ghost-Emma
Monsters-Grace
Candy throwers-Eli, Annie, Aly, Kendra
If you should be on this list and you are not... that is bad!!! post a comment and tell me what is wrong and I will repost corrections!
Try to dress up as a monster that you would see in Scooby Doo but if you can't think of anything, just wear something hippieish... (that's a word by the way) and if you don't own tyedye and there is no way for you to borrow any then come decked out in Tigard gear.
If you are not going to be on another float, make sure you are at Albertson's by 3pm (4 at the latest) on Friday. Oh and just in case you wanted to know, we are 27th on the list... that's how much they love us... :)
Set up for the parade is on Thursday at 3pm and we will meet in Bowman's room and gravitate towards the mystery machine (Alysia's van).
Everybody needs to bring a dollar this week to give to an officer and we will all buy candy for you to throw at-I mean to the children. :)
HALLOWEEN ROOMS!!!!!!
The Halloween rooms are on October 31st from 3-5pm. Setup is on that Saturday from 2-4pm
and then on the 31st from 1-3pm. Our theme is Peter Pan and we were planning on making clothes pin Fairies, a treasure chest, hats/wings, a fake sword fight (w/ fake swords), pixie stick pixie dust, and having the actual movie playing in the corner. Eli and I were also thinking of having Tinkerbells all over the room and if the kids find them all they get a prize... What do you think?
A few other things we talked about were the Invisible Children showing in 2 weeks and Court is putting up posters all over the school. BRING A FRIEND!!!
We also talked about our 1 in 3 PSA. our deadline is December 3rd which is also "National it's time to talk Day". Comment if you would be able to find people to interview or just find info on teen dating abuse.
Coming up:
Schools for schools is a yes- we are planning it next meeting
Who wants to do a Tualatin River Cleanup???
Anyways... Here is what you should have gotten out of this:

- think of ideas for Halloween rooms
- ... that's it?

Meeting 10/5 Minutes
Hey guys!
We had our Meet and Eat last Tuesday, and we had such a lovely turn out and a great time! We really hope that those new members who came continue to throughout the year!
Homecoming Parade is next week! Our theme is Scooby Doo, so we need to decide who can come, and who's who. If you would like to be one of the members of the gang, CALL DIBS ON IT IN THE COMMENTS! Everyone else can decide at the meeting on Tuesday. If all the gang members get nabbed and we still have extra people, we'll probably have either monsters, or candy throwers. So be sure to choose who you'd like to be!
We will most likely have a set up day where we decorate lovely Ms. Alysia's van next Thursday after school. So if you can't be with us for the actual parade, you can still contribute! Please be there, if you can!
Keep theme ideas for Halloween Rooms in mind! There's an ICC meeting on Wednesday, so I need to know by then what our plan is. You can suggest ideas in the comments you know, to get the gears turning!
Also, the IC Spring Tour is soooo on! Check out this video!
See you all next week!
