Dear 7th and 8th Grade SPARKS Parent(s),

As you are aware, we have a competition at OLPH on February 23rd. That means we have only 5 class periods left (after today) to complete our mousetrap cars and all of the other components of our entries. We lost two class periods due to the January snow. 😕

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you can help with the car itself (we have to work through all of the Engineering Design Process steps), including documenting each stage, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you can help with the trifold display board, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you can help with the “costume” (a team t-shirt, which I have already purchased, with student designed logo and team name), and you can assist in painting the shirt, or have a Cricut or Silhouette that you can bring, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

If you can help with creating marketing materials (pamphlet, jingle, commercial, video, etc.) for a team, WE NEED YOUR HELP!

**If you can help, please come at one, two, three, or ALL of the following times:

7th Grade:     Tuesdays 2:10 - 3:00.    Thursdays 12:20 - 1:10

8th Grade:     Tuesdays 12:20 - 1:10.    Thursdays 2:10 - 3:00

Please call the school office (386-3328), email me (romana.wendenon@sascolts.org) or text my cell (268-4856) and let me know when you can be here to assist us, or just drop by! Any and all help is appreciated! As you can see, it is A LOT to get done.

We won the competition last year with our outstanding catapults, costumes, and presentations! Let’s do it again!

DON’T FORGET THAT PERMISSION SLIPS ARE DUE THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8TH. THANKS SO MUCH TO THOSE WHO HAVE ALREADY TURNED THEIRS IN, AND ALSO TO THE PARENTS WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO DRIVE (WE COULD USE ANOTHER ONE OR TWO DRIVERS)!
