Happy Thanksgiving

1.

 I wasn't able to complete all of the revision grading.  I'll have all essays ready for Monday.

2. 

If you like and you need help, please wait and I'll be able to chat with you about whatever you need after the PC pantry group returns..

3. 

The PC Pantry group is accompanying me to see a possible location for our pantry.  We'll be back soon.

4. 

If you don't need anything from me, Happy Thanksgiving!  Go home and finish your final essay and organize all your work into sections so I can look at all you've done on our final meeting day.  Happy Thanksgiving!

5.  If you are a member of the PC pantry group, please create an action plan and timeline for what we need to do to open our pantry.  Remember, priority # one is incorporating as a club, and we'd like to submit the application next week.

First, announcements:

Our Honors "Adopt a Refugee Family"

The Honors Program is again participating in PC's "Adopt a Refugee Family" project. We have now been matched with our family! They are from Iraq and have been in the U.S. for less than two months. 

If you would like to help out in the gathering of items, please use the individual family member information below as your guide. Household and family items are also more than welcomed. You may buy new or may find some gently used items in your closets and cupboards.

Please bring all items to the Honors office bagged or wrapped and labeled to the individual family member or to the family as a whole. Last day to bring itmes in is Thursday, Dec. 12.
