Ok, just as an update, right now everything’s been fine in Biology! No one dropped out of Pre-AP and noone’s been kicked out YET…but we haven’t had to move to the new classrom yet, so I’m not sure what’s going to happen.
Anyways, next New Year’s (not this coming one, but the one AFTER that) our orchestra is going to London! We’re going to go see pretty much everything you can possibly imagine going to see in England! I am SOOO excited! We also get to do some performances and march in the London parade! (We get to carry one of the balloons!) The only catch is that it costs us each $3000 to go…the price went up $800 since four years ago. We’re having LOTS of fundraisers for it — today we each got a bag of lollipops (mine had 35) and sold them for a quarter each. My bag TOTALLY sold out by the time we were done with lunch. There weren’t anymore bags I could go and get, though, so I can’t sell them this weekend. So far I’ve raised almost $20, since we had an entertainment book fundraiser a little earlier. Still, 20/3000…I’ve got some work to do. By November we’re supposed to be able to pay the first $300. I’m hoping that our teacher has more fundraisers we can do on Monday, because I am so excited about London and I want to be able to go!!!

WoW! Awesomeness jaja. Hey, you could like knit some cellphone cozies, etc., and sell them! (you know, a quick pattern or something). I’m making some (in crochet) and they take me like 15 minutes to make! And i’m going to sell them for $4 i think. Good luck though

Thanks very much for the encouragement and ideas!!! Yeah, fundraising’s not going as well as our teacher made us think it would, but we’ve been selling candy and that is very popular, and I get 50¢ for each bar I sell!
