Good Morning everyone! This isn't going to be my usual post. I am writing asking for...money! Now, stay with me, don't automatically skip this post! Please read on...
Thanks for reading! Our school does something every year called Operation G.O.O.D. It is our major fundraiser for the year. Each child is asked to bring in $200 in donations. So for my family we need to raise $400, next year, $600! Here is what happens. For 4 weeks the students bring in donations. On May 2nd the whole school will be spending several hours working for the Army Corp of Engineers in the local parks and forests. We walk miles in the forest and pull Mustard Weeds and pick up trash. It is a hot and dirty job. (Yes, teachers have to go and work too!) Mustard weeds will choke out every other kind of growing thing so they must be picked, they even talk about how bad they are on the news each year. Our school is the only group that picks them. We "Give Of Ourselves" so that the whole community can benefit. So we are asking for money, and in return we will work for our community on a service project.
Would you be willing to donate to Mikayla and Jenna??!?!?? If so- please leave a comment and I will email you back our address so you can send a check. (Even if you have our address leave a comment so we can all get excited about how much money is being donated! :) ) Make the check payable to HCS. We would need to get the check by April 28th. I will split all money between the 2 girls. We really would appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

Amy, Duane and I will donate $50.00 for your giving of ourselves day. (Have fun picking those mustard weeds).
Jeff and Duane talked last week and said something about getting together in Chicago the week of June 22nd. Alyssa's graduation party is the 21st and Duane has to work the 22nd and the 26th, so if it would'nt be a problem for you guys, maybe we could squeeze it in that time frame between Duane's work days. Let me know.

Deb from church is donating 25$ each! She emailed me and said she "was too dumb" to know how to post a comment on my blog-I will have to fill her in! I wanted to give her "credit" for her donation!
Thanks Deb!
Thanks to all of you that are donating straight to my email, I appreciate it!

Amy, What a great experience for the kids! I would love to start something like this at our school. I would love to be able to teach the kids how to give back. I will be sending a check for $25 to help out!
