Girl Scouts: Three December Things to Remember

Hi everyone!

Just a couple quick December notes:

1)  Our first December Highland View meeting is tomorrow.  Here's who I have signed up.  Please make sure your teacher knows if your scout is going to the meeting after school instead of your regular dismissal (pick up, bus, walk, etc.)

5th Grade Highland View

Samantha S.

Lia S.

Kahlen W.

Makenzie S.

Alyssa S.

4th Grade Highland View

Eva M.

Elena E.

Quinn S.

Alison D.

Other Schools:

Adrhia F-M.

Teagan A.

Katie B.

2)  Just a quick reminder to sign up for one of the mandatory Washington DC Trip Meetings 12/13 or 12/20 if you/your scout was interested in going. If some of our new 4th Grade scouts are interested in going to Washington DC, please let me know.  Girl Scout rules require scouts to be finished with 5th grade for out-of-state trips, so we'll put something together for those scouts next year when they wrap up 5th grade!  (We'll even make sure any cookie money from cookies they sell this year goes to their trip, to make sure everything is fair and square!)

Here's the page for the meeting sign up:

3)  Milwaukee Wave Scout Night event:  If your scout was in the sleepover, and didn't get a Wave Hat or Wave Scout Night Patch, please let me know.  I did get some extras from the Wave so we can make sure everyone got theirs! 

Bonus #4)   Basketball!  Is anyone else interested in the 12/31 UWM Women's basketball game Girl Scout Game?  Details and sign up here:  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa5ad22a13-uwmpanther I'm kind of excited that during the time we were working on our "Sports and Fitness" badge, we had 3-4 great Girl Scout opportunities with local sports teams.  (UWM Soccer, UWM Volleyball, UWM Basketball, and the Wave!)

Bonus #5)  Nursing Home Trip change!  December 15th is the Highland View Winter Concert, and I think almost everyone signed up is from Highland View, as is Ms. Kelly, who's setting that trip up.  So, it is with heavy heart that we have to cancel that date for this year.  (At least it's not canceled because of a major flu epidemic wreaking havoc like 2 years ago!)  

Bonus #6)  Nut money:  I'm terrible, and I haven't turned my Nut Money in to Ms. Kelly yet.  If you're on the same timeline that I am, please (Please!) bring your money to the meeting tomorrow (Wednesday 12/7) and we'll get it to her right there!

Thanks so much everyone, and keep scouting!
