At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer

I realize we are starting to ramp up our efforts in class.  In these busy times, do not forget to BREATHE and be GRATEFUL! You can find a SPARK of inspiration and motivation everywhere!

Watch this, be inspired, and pass it on...

Today starts the Coin Wars fundraiser.

The Interact Club is sponsoring this event.  It runs for the next three week ending on Friday November 14^th. All money raised goes to the “Free the Children” charity, which is helping people in Africa. Granada Interact is working with all other East/South Bay Interact Clubs to support this charity.

About the fundraiser:

·      This will run in your 3^rd period class (we are not doing PE, sorry!)

·      All coins are positive points so put those in your 3^rd period

·      All bills are negative points so place those in other classes

·      Do not disrupt class time so please allow students to access your class during passing periods or what works best for you

·      Interact club will collect, count, and announce scores of top classes each week

       ·      The class with the greatest net points wins a pizza party

·      No “hoarding” of coins until the last day

·      Event ends at 3:05 on Friday November 14^th
