Skating Event!

Thanks to everyone that came out! I certainly had a blast! I can't wait for the next time we can get together!

The 2014 Grads

 And I would like you all to meet the dangerous pair: Stewy (Noah Stewart) and Drewy (me)

Everybody

Christmastime is HERE! Skating and Caroling

So, the votes are in and it's pretty clear that skating wins... by far. Also, it seems like the best time for everyone is the week after Christmas. How does this sound?

Who: 2014 TEACH grads and their families
When: Friday, December 27th from 5-9PM

Where: Centennial Lakes in Edina - skating is free and they have rentals at a very good price for those of you that don't own skates 

What: Skating, chatting, having fun, and singing the Christmas carols we haven't grown tired of yet

Why: beautiful pond, awesome people, and skating - need I say more?

AND... speaking of Christmas carols, we should do some caroling!!! It seems it has become a tradition of the graduating class to go out caroling so let's continue that tradition! If anyone knows of a senior care home or other place that would be blessed to have amateur carollers, let me know. 

Here's the tentative plan, everyone could meet at my house (or another convenient location close to where we'll be caroling) at 3:30 on the 20th of December. Again, this is tentative and can easily be moved to whatever date or time works best for people. We can practice together a little then head out to the place we'll be caroling. After we've sung to our hearts content, we can return for some hot cocoa, chili (another tradition), and games. How does that sound?

Both of these events require at least 7 people to respond with a yes in order for me to move forward with this. Please RSVP by December 20th regarding the skating. 

Christmas with Dignity...again ;)

        Sooo, I talked to the lady in charge (Mrs. Delaney) and she said that the best time for us to come would be somewhere between December 2nd and December 12th.
      We need to work on what day to go and what time to come.(I can't do it on Tuesdays or Thursdays until 3:00 otherwise anytime works for me) They basically have it all day. We can go and stay until we decide to leave. ;)
I was thinking that we could all go out to eat for lunch or dinner (whichever we choose) after we've been working for a while. If you'd like to do it,comment below and say what days you are available, and what time would be best! :) (Remember, this is coming up fast, so please respond quickly so I can plan it! :) )

Christmas With Dignity

Hey Guys!

Would anyone be interested in helping out  with Christmas with Dignity? It's a program to help the people in the Twin Cities area have an affordable Christmas. Basically any week day would work in November, I don't think they have it on Saturdays, but i'll check into it. If you are interested in doing this, please comment so I know!

I'm not sure how this works, are we suppose to email Mr. Newhouse about anything that you plan?

Thanks!

~Jem :)

Class Verse

It looks like these are the verses that have been suggested so far: Joshua 1:9, Isaiah 40:31, Psalm 91:1-2, Psalm 16:1, Philippians 4:13, John 10:4, and Hosea 10:6 (let me know if I missed any). Hebrews 12:1 is another one I came across. So far Joshua 1:9 and Isaiah 40:31 seem to be peoples favorites. I was thinking maybe it would be a good idea to choose a verse first and then choose a motto and song with a common theme based off the verse. Just some thoughts. Everyone please share your thoughts.
