Farmville Club members enjoyed attending a pizza party on Wednesday, February 8 to celebrate academic achievement. 55 members were eligible to attend the party by participating in Power Hour and earning a minimum of 300 points. The top 5 members in Power Hour were honored with McDonalds gift cards. Members were also recognized for excelling in their academics. Kaylan Prayer earned all A’s and received a McDonald’s gift card for her hard work. 17 members earned A’s & B’s while 9 members were Rising Stars (having only 1 C). We are so proud of all of our members accomplishments.
Girl Scout Cookie Sales
On Wednesday, February 15th, our girls that are in Girl Scouts sold cookies to parents and the local community. We have about 40 of our female members in the program. They have sold 1,500 boxes of cookies and counting. Girl Scouts meet every other Wednesday throughout the year. Girl Scouts is a program that the girls look forward to every meeting. This time of year is especially exciting for the Girl Scouts as they get to assist with the disbursement of cookies.
Good job girls!

Congratulations to the 116 members at the Jack Minges Unit who earned enough points during the first semester of school to be able to attend our mid-term Power Hour Party. Members can earn points every Monday-Thursday afternoon during Power Hour. Points are earned by completing their homework assignments and doing an extra activity that goes along with what they are learning in school. We are very proud of you! Keep up the good work.
