Old Business:
Our December committee shared information on the collection of toys, clothes and goods for Meadow's Edge Families. The families were very appreciative of our extremely giving families here at Northpoint! Special thanks to Spencer, Addison, Renee, Jillian and Gabby for their work on this committee!

Don't forget, we are still collecting pop tabs until the end of the month! Crazy head/hat day has been moved to tomorrow!

New Business:
Our mission of the month for February is Pennies for Peace! Hannah, Maddies, Mary, Sophia, Taylor and Gabrielle are going to be working with Mrs. DeLaurelle to plan events for this month to collect as many as pennies as possible to build schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

All students need to make posters advertising Pennies for Peace!

December Meeting

Project Updates
The final total is in for the adopt a snow leopard event. Northpoint raised $1119.88 for Tami, the snow leopard.
In November, we delivered 2 trucks and 3 SUV's full of food for families in PHM.
In December, we sponsored 20 families from another school in PHM. We provided toys and clothes for Christmas.

New projects
Our focus in January is raising money for Riley's Childrens' Hospital. We will be having a Crazy Head Day on January 16th. Students may where a crazy hat or have crazy hair. Students must pay at least $1.00 to participate. Hair color must be able to wash out right away. (No make up) The class that raises the most money will have a camp under!

Riley's also collects pop tabs. For several years, Northpoint has donated more than any other school. We will also be collecting pop tabs during the month of January.

Our SIS members are helping this month by:
*Bring in a decorated container for pop tabs by Monday. For example: pringle cans, milk jugs, and cereal boxes.
*Make a poster. Turn it in by Monday. Include all information about January. If you are on the January committee use a bigger piece of paper. Everyone else use a plain piece of copy paper.
*Make a report to your partner class tomorrow or Monday and then again the first week of January.

Meeting Tomorrow!

Don't forget we have a Stars in Service meeting tomorrow from 2:20-3:20! See you there!

A Visit With Tami!

We did it, we did it, we reached our goal!

The Stars in Service members have collected more than $1,000 from the generous Northpoint Community in order to adopt Tami, the snow leopard!

We will be visiting Potawatomi Zoo next Thursday at 3:00 for our special visit with Tami! All Stars in Service members are invited to attend. It will be up to individual families to provide transportation to and from the zoo on that day! We should plan to be there around 1 hour!

What an opportunity! Way to go Northpoint!

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!

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!
