We Are Well On Our Way!

Wow...what a week! The Northpoint Community did an amazing job raising money for the Potawatomi Zoo and our goal of adopting Tami, the snow leopard!

Our stuffed animal day and Webkinz raffle brought in over $700.00! Isn't that amazing?!?!?! We're so proud of you!

Congratulations to the following winners of our raffle at Fall Festival:
Jacob, Emmabella, Jack, Megan, Ellie, Grace, Samantha, Adwait, Will, Brandon, Addison, Madi, Maggie, Norman, Brielle, Massa, Mary, Gabbie, Alyssa, Hunter, Maddison, Spencer, Mrs. DeLaurelle

We're so close to our $1,000 goal, we thought we would try one more time! Plan to bring in at least $1.00 on Friday of this week to earn the right to wear slippers for the day! We know we can reach that goal!

Tomorrow Is The Day!

Don't forget that tomorrow is Stuffed Animal Day! Encourage your friends and classmates to bring in $1.00 to go towards our adoption of Tami, the snow leopard!

Also--if you have signed up to work at Fall Festival, you should have received your paper today. Even if you aren't working, please come support the Stars In Service crew in adopting the snow leopard!

Thanks to Mrs. Stuckey and Abby for more Webkinz donations!

Tami, The Snow Leopard!

All members were present today!

We had a great visit with Mr. DeRosa, the Potawatomi Zoo Director, today. He was able to share all sorts of interesting information on Tami, the snow leopard, that Northpoint is trying to adopt! He was very impressed with the students' goals and their plan to raise at least $1,000 to help out the local zoo!

Our committee of Alexis, Molly, Laura, Kylie and Kelsey are very excited about their project they have planned. They have planned STUFFED ANIMAL DAY for Friday, October 17th. All Northpoint students are invited to bring a stuffed animal to school with them on Friday, as well as a donation to go towards our adoption of Tami. Students are encouraged to bring in at least $1.00.

In addition to the Stuffed Animal Day, our Stars In Service is also having a Webkinz Raffle that will be taking place at Fall Festival. Donated Webkinz will be in a raffle the night of the festival. All money raised will be going to the zoo fund-raiser and our adoption of Tami. We are looking for Stars in Service members to work the raffle table that night. Please see the paper that came home with representatives today. The shifts are either 6:30-7:30 or 7:30-8:30.

WSTAR Announcers for this event will be: Alexis (Monday), Molly (Tuesday), Laura (Wednesday), Kylie (Thursday), & Kelsey (Friday)

Poster Makers will be: Kelsey, Alexis, Kylie, Laura, Molly, Mary, Sophia, Adwait, Lena, Aiden, Jillian, Madi, Addison, Taylor, Gabby, Gabrielle, Hope, Renee and anyone else that would like to make one!

A special thank you to the following for donating Webkinz for our raffles:
Gabrielle, Alexis, Molly, Laura, Kylie, Kelsey, Gabby, Mrs. DeLaurelle, Mrs. Colborn, Ms. Kuroski, & Grace

Looking Ahead: We are collecting money for the Northern Indiana Food Bank. We will also be collecting food for Thanksgiving Dinner Baskets for families in need from our community.
