March 2015 Trip to India and Nepal
Hello everyone,
Due to increased regional complexity, the upcoming March 2015 trip to Jerusalem is changing course. Instead, we will be traveling to India and Nepal.
Now that we are traveling to a new destination, I am able to open up trip signups for a limited amount of time. I have 2 available slots on what will certainly be a memorable trip that will explore rich cultures, see a very different part of the world, and give participants the chance to absorb some of the most stunning scenery on the planet.

Play 4 the Cure Game on Saturday
So I am Maddy Jerolman, the captain of the girls varsity field hockey team, and as Julia Valine and I said at assembly, we are having a play 4 the cure game this Saturday at 7 p.m.! For that game we are going to be raising money for the research project. One of the ways we will be raising money is having a raffle and selling pink “play for the cure” bracelets. Tomorrow at both lunches the team will be sitting at the front table selling these tickets and bracelets. It will be 1 ticket for $1 or 4 tickets for $2. The bracelets will be $3. What we will be raffling off will be gift cards to Antonios, Riffs, Beansprout, Dunkin, Tandem, school store, and some other great places around town!
We will also be having a bake sale this Saturday down by the gym starting around 3, selling at some of the games going on. The raffle will be picked at half time during our game! DON’T worry if you can’t make the game it doesn’t mean you can’t buy a raffle ticket. We will find a way to get it to you! This is for an amazing cause and it would mean so much if our community would pitch in! I hope everyone enjoys their nights and hope to see you purchasing some tickets and bracelets tomorrow at lunch! Go WILDCATS!
Thanks a ton,
Maddy Jerolman & Julia Valine
