Grad Class Meeting Times

We have now begun our biweekly meetings!

We will be tentatively meeting on Thursdays every other week at University of Northwestern - St. Paul in the Youderian Lounge at 7 PM. (January 30th being our second meeting). These meetings are semi-mandatory because we will be planning our ceremony and baccalaureate and distributing jobs for families.

For right now, the meetings will continue until our actual ceremony.

If you have any questions, let me or Mr. Newhouse know. If you're wondering how to find the Youderian Lounge, you can call me at (651)368-0769. If you're going to get there early, let me know because I'm going to be there for classes anyway.

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 :)
