The Builder's Club is Trick or Treating for UNICEF. UNICEF is an international organization that provides financial help for children in underdeveloped countries. The money will help provide clean water, medicine, education supplies, and help for parent education . We are challenging each grade level to bring in their coins on Oct 28 and 29. There will be a Builders club member sitting at lunch with an orange box to collect these coins. The winning grade level, that raises at least $30.00, will receive an incentive during their grade level band and choir time on Oct 31. (20 minutes outside or, if the weather is bad, 20 minutes of a Halloween movie.) Dollar bills will be accepted too. Please help donate to this cause.
The next two FFA meetings will be WEDNESDAY, 11/6 and WEDNESDAY 11/13 from 3:00 – 4:00 pm. The Dairy Product CDE is Wednesday November 13th at Rochelle HS. We will leave for the contest at 4:00 pm and the bus will return to Byron around 8 pm.
