Washington D.C. Here We Come!

A group of 6th grade students from Briarfield Academy in Lake Providence, Louisiana will travel to our nation's capitol, Washington D.C. on May 6th, 2009. They will be accompanied by their teacher and several chaperones. They are very excited to travel to the capitol city after following the election process during the school year. We hope you enjoy learning about their experience in the months leading up to their trip and on the trip itself.

Chicken Spaghetti Fundraiser








The Chicken Spaghetti fundraiser was held today and was very successful. The students did a great job selling their tickets. In fact, they sold more tickets than we had planned for which meant some people went above and beyond in making extra recipes of chicken spaghetti. The students sold 451 tickets and donations were also accepted at the door. Not only did the students sell tickets, but they also served beverages to those who chose to eat in and made sure that everyone was well taken care of during their meal. Mrs. Tisha did a great job in organizing her class. Thank you to Church of Christ for making the fabulous desserts and providing the facilities to prepare and host the meal. Thank you to all the families and friends who made chicken spaghetti. Thank you also to everyone who purchased tickets and made donations. We hope you enjoyed your meal!

Let The Fundraising Begin!

The students have formed committees and have begun the process of fundraising for their trip. The first fundraiser involved selling roses for Valentines Day. This was put together very quickly, but turned out to be very successful. There were a lot of surprised ladies, young and old, in Lake Providence for Valentines Day! The second fundraiser is scheduled for Sunday, March 29th and will be a Chicken Spaghetti Lunch. Tickets are available through the 6th grade class and lunches can be picked up at the Church of Christ no later than 1:30. Donations are also appreciated by the class to offset the cost of the trip.
