Due to the extreme weather conditions, the Dessert and Talent Show has been rescheduled to Thursday, January 29 at 7 pm.  Tickets are $4 per person/$10 per family for a fabulous evening of student entertainment.  Dessert donations are still needed.  We hope to see you then.

Since we just had an All-Community Meeting last Monday, the meeting previously scheduled for January 22 has been canceled.

The second semester deadline for the Continental Auto Group “Keys to Success” program is approaching quickly.  Quarter two report cards are due to Continental Subaru by January 31, 2009, 8 p.m.  All seniors are encouraged to enter for a chance to win a new Subaru.  Only 66 entries were received for first semester.  And a note to the two Steller seniors that entered, please remember to enter again to increase your chances of winning.  Students may enter once each quarter.

Thursday is Steller’s annual dessert and talent show (7-9pm).  You may have
a received a phone call from me the other night inviting you to the event.
We have over 15 acts performing on Thursday night ranging from dancing,
singing, to instrumental performances.  Along with our wonderful
performances we will also be having desserts to munch on during
intermission.  Frank and I are not able to supply all the desserts for the
show and are asking for parents to help out. If you are able to bring a
dessert tomorrow, Thursday January 15th.  Please bring it in any time on
Thursday and deliver it to my room.

Thanks so much for all your help and I hope to see you there on Thursday.
