History Emphasis Days - Help Needed
Miss Brittany Hartke has taken the lead in putting on this year's Logic & Rhetoric School's History Emphasis Days, scheduled for April 7th - 9th, meetings and plannings are underway. This year's theme is Age of Chivalry. So, it's time to dust off the jousting lances and join the fray, Miss Hartke will need to have a plethora of parents participating. To that end there are two specific requests to make of you at this time:
1. If you have skills in archery, fencing, backgammon, herbs, embroidery, cooking, setup, cleanup, or story-telling and are willing to help please let Miss Hartke know!
2. We are in need of empty boxes, odd shapes and sizes are ideal (i.e. empty cereal boxes, tissue boxes, Cheez-it boxes, etc.). There will be a reward for the class that brings in the most number of boxes.
Please contact Miss Hartke with any questions or to volunteer your services. Thank you kindly!
