Tolo Week and Dance
Spirit Week, December 8 – 12
The freshmen have a lot of practice now with spirit week at Newport. Here are the themes for the days leading up to the Tolo dance. Participation is optional and fun!
Monday Holiday Wear Party
Tuesday Yoga Party
Wednesday Jersey Party
Thursday Black Out Party
Friday Red and Gold
Tolo Basics
* Formal dance sponsored by the Camelot Club held in the Newport gym.
* Saturday, December 13, from 9:00 pm to midnight
* Girls generally ask the boys, using similar creativity and planning employed by the boys who asked girls to the Homecoming Dance. Boys should show the girls the courtesy of ANSWERING!
* Girls generally pay for the dance tickets, dinner, and any day activities planned by the participants.
* Boys generally pay for photos, transportation, and dessert.
Remember, the dance is the only official school-sponsored event – everything else is optional. Couples usually form groups, adding to the fun but complicating the planning process. I strongly encourage you to reach out to the other parents in the group to compare notes and help the kids come to closure with their plans.
Tolo Ticket Sales
Students may purchase tickets ($13 each) during lunch in the Commons on December 9, 10, and 11. Students who plan to attend Tolo with a non-Newport student must turn in guest pass paperwork by December 10 at 3:00 pm. Forms are available in the main office. Guests must have a ticket and an ID card to enter the dance.
Corsages and Boutonnieres
Students can show support for the Invisible Children program (fundraising to support children in Uganda) at school by purchasing a ribbon corsage or boutonniere for Tolo. Student volunteers will take orders during lunch tomorrow and Monday through Thursday next week. Pick up will be Friday, December 12. Save a flower and spend $10 for a good cause. Proceeds will benefit Invisible Children and the Class of 2010 grad party.
Chaperones
If you would like to help as a chaperone, please contact Mr. James at jamesg@bsd405.org. Chaperones will need to report for duty at 8:15 on December 13.
