1) This year, please mark Friday, November 6, 2009 from 6:30 – 8:30p.m. on your calendar for NOVEMBER NONSENSE.

NOVEMBER NONSENSE is George Street Middle School’s Annual Family Fun Night and is a huge highlight for students, parents, staff, and also represents the biggest and only fundraising event of the Home and School Association. Funds raised are directed to educational purchases and projects for students.

NOVEMBER NONSENSE does involve a planning committee and a large team of volunteers. A bright yellow notice was issued this past week explaining how you can volunteer your time or services.

Please read the attached document for further information on how you can get involved.
