Announcements for Friday, October 29, 2010

1.  Lunch today will be Bocsoe Pizza, assorted fruits and vegetables, low fat white or chocolate milk.

 

2.  Starting Monday - "Jazz" up your reading with a new book from the bookfair.  Plan to make a wishlist and check out our great authors and titles before school, during activity, and after school.  Parents can come any time during the school day.  We'll have raffles and surprises so plan to come to the bookfair.

 

3.  The 7th grade Volley ball team played host to Eisenhower yesterday afternoon and came away with another shut out 2-0. The bulldogs played the best match of the season improving their record to 6 and 3. Bring on Valley Forge !!!!!

 

4.  Today in 1929,  Black Tuesday hits Wall Street as investors trade 16,410,030 shares on the New York Stock Exchange in a single day. Billions of dollars were lost, wiping out thousands of investors, and stock tickers ran hours behind because the machinery could not handle the tremendous volume of trading. In the aftermath of Black Tuesday, America and the rest of the industrialized world spiraled downward into the Great Depression.

 

5.  On this day in 1858, the first store opens in a small frontier town in Colorado Territory that a month later will take the name of Denver in a shameless ploy to curry favor with Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver.
