Guitar Hero for Our Heroes!

Mrs. Conley's homebase collected spare change from students in the lunchroom during the month of December to try and buy something fun for the troops. We raised over $350 dollars!

After much deliberation, we decided to buy a Playstation 2, Guitar Hero 2 and 3 and a guitar. We shipped it out today! The game is being sent to Camp Liberty in Iraq. It will be in the MWR http://www.armymwr.com/ where many soldiers will be able to use it in their free time!

Thank you to everyone who donated money and helped make our project such a success!

Our first carnival was a great success!

Mrs. Foellmer's homebase students, assisted by Miss Smith's homebase, provided a fun experience for 5 of the 6th grade homebases. Games such as the Bean Bag Toss, Bozo Buckets, and Spin the Wheel, were played and prizes awarded and a great time was had by all.

Of course, we can't forget the purpose of our carnival. We raised money to buy phone cards for the troops and "Hug a Hero" dolls for their children.

Hopefully, day 2 of our carnival, just before spring break, will be just as successful!

We did it!

Miss Smith's Homebase filled 4 large boxes full of hygiene products, including toothpaste, soaps, shampoos, etc! These supplies are sent to children in Afghanistan affected by the war. Good Job to all of you!
