Life is about choices.
If you make a mistake once, it's a mistake. You make the same mistake again, that's a choice. |

How big of step per shirt is it from 185 to 200 shirts? Includes students shirts. Only a couple dollars for t's, a bit more for sweatshirts. It adds up fast. The shown amount is still showing for a 100 sale goal. They will adjust it for us wen they send the check and the final tally is set. Until then, we won't know for sure. We are already in the bonus round. |

I don't have an update on her, unfortunately. I believe she graduated at semester(December) from the alternative school. She was still dealing with her TBI, and other associated medical problems from the accident. |

At 197 now. This would be the most shirts ever sold already, but breaking the 2nd hundred mark would be super speshul. |

Gotta give it a weekend yet, otherwise people will be mad at missing the sale. It happens all the time but at least this went for more than 3 or 4 days like last year or year before.

207 Sold, and $2614 Raised!!!!
4 Days remain. We had planned to have the C-130 painted and ready for partial display on the 21st of this month for the 8th grade parents orientation to electives. I know this was a bit optimistic, but thought, we can do this. We did it last year with the F-22. Last year, one of my coworkers came in and looked at the F-22 and said something like, "You brought a freaken jet???!!! We are all trying to show off our classes, and you bring a jet?!! " It was pretty funny. I don't need to advertise my classes. They are beyond full, and waiting lists happen every semester, but it's still fun to promote the program a bit. I wanted to do this again. Kids think we are going to struggle with that. I looked at the calendar yesterday, and noticed a problem. Spring Break starts NEXT FRIDAY AFTERNOON(entire week of 13-17)!!!! So, we've got a week to get some paint on this thing. |
