ASB Student Elections…
Yesterday morning at the close of the Assembly program we elected our student government leaders. The ASB meets Tuesday and Friday mornings in the 9/10 room during zero hour, to plan and coordinate student activities. The student elected officers for 2011-2012 are:
President: Lexi Scotson
Spiritual Vice-President: Catherine Harwood
Social Vice-President: Madison Waldo
Participation in student government is open to all 7^th through 10^th graders. If participating, regular attendance is expected.

Biology Trip - Fundraiser
The Freshmen and Sophomore classes from Tri City Junior Academy would like to ask your support for their biology field trip in the coming spring. They will be picking and bringing to TCJA ripe garden fresh tomatoes for you on each Friday until frost. They have red, yellow, pink, green, and multicolored ones in a variety of shapes and sizes. Many of them are heirloom varieties but there are traditional varieties as well. So whether you need some for sandwiches, salsas, or a big canning job they have what you need. They have no scale so they are being offered on a donation basis.

Mission Trip - Fundraiser
You may have noticed that our playground sycamore has been removed and made into firewood, compliments of Carl Kostoff. We are inviting those who would like the firewood to swing by and pick some up in exchange for a donation towards the mission trip. The same rules as those for the tomatoes fundraiser apply. We have no set price. Give as you are blessed; take as you need.

ASB Movie Night
ASB’s first event will be a movie night on Saturday, September 17 at 7:45 pm. The title of the movie will be announced in next week’s Dirt. We will be showing the movie in Mr. Saxby’s classroom. ASB will move the tables out of the room to accommodate seating, and we encourage you to bring your own comfortable chair to sit in (bean bags, etc.)! The event will run until around 9:30pm.

Mr. O’s Pick…
Parris Williams has been going the extra mile helping out in intramurals and cleaning the classroom on top of her regular job. Thanx for the extra effort and for the great attitude. Come in Monday for your muffin.

Wilderness Ventures… Reminder
We still have room for a few people who might want to take in the annual backpacking trip. They leave Friday morning and will spend through Sunday midday in the Goat Rocks Wilderness. Again, there is a $25 fee to participate in this event, which covers all food and travel (except if we stop at Miner’s or some other venue on the return home).

Muffin Mondays
Mondays are still Muffin days. They sell for 75¢ each. Any other day, they are $1.
