Greetings Rocket Post,
Like
I always say, I have excuses for being late. This time it is because I was on
vacation seeing family up in Indiana. But even being on vacation I hear about
the post, the members and the great things happening all around us. Check out
below, we have information for Patriots Pen, Voice of Democracy and Teacher of
the year. If you know of anyone interested please pass this information along
and if you know any teachers or anyone affiliated with the schools in the area
please let them know about these great events.
As
many of you know we had a new roof put on the Post and it was needed. Now we
should be good to go for a few years. I know there were a few of you that
brought in nails and other sharp objects form the parking lot that their magnet
did not pick up. Thank you for that and taking care of each other.
Bingo
Players! 12 September will be the start of the NFL season and as you all
remember, the screen room and the canteen will have the games on. If you choose
to play bingo in the canteen please remember you will need to use the screens
in the canteen because the speakers will be off. If you wish to hear the
numbers please play in the hall.
Speaking
about Sundays, the menu will be changed and we are adding a few items for the
football season. Yes we will have the normal Burgers and dogs. As you know we
already added the Pulled Pork Sandwiches a couple weeks ago. Now we are adding
the basket of fries, Onion Rings, Chicken tenders, Chili when available, and
Egg rolls. There might be more but I am shooting from the hip on this topic, it
is hard to keep up with the kitchen crew. They are just that awesome.
Coming
up; Wednesday 29 September the kitchen is offering a special dinner. Beef Liver
and Onions, mashed potatoes with gravy, salad and dessert. Please sign up in
the canteen so Carl knows how much to prepare.
The Patriot Pen Theme is "How Can I be a Good American?” This program is for
6th thought 8th grade. It requires the
student to write a paper between 300 and 400 words.
The VOD Theme is "America: Where do we go from here?” This program
is for 9th through 12th grade. It
requires the student to record their speech on a CD or flash drive. The
speech must be no shorter than 3 minutes and no longer than 5 minutes (plus or minus
5 seconds)
The
Teacher of the Year application must describe in 350 words or less why the
teacher promotes patriotism and their dedication to education and complete the
nomination form.
