– Class Communication:
From the leadership conference we heard that some people may not be
getting the notices that our student leaders are sending out, so we decided that we will use
Facebook and google classroom as our two main electronic modes of communication. We will
also verbally talk to students and let them know, and possibly use advisories to distribute
information.

        ~ The Qdoba fundraiser is Thursday, November 1st, and people just need to show a flier or
a picture of one to the cashier and a certain percentage will come back to the class funds

and band masquerade concerts

      On November 1st there was a fundraiser for our class at 2020 to raise money for our grade and activities with a great turnout
