It's not quite a smooth running maching yet, but for just two years of operation, Mill Pond Elementary and our young Mill Pond Booster Club are getting the kinks worked out. Through the tremendous work of our volunteers, we finished our calendar with a bang with our end of the year carnival. (Mr. Batstone got off easy since the District banned the use of Dunk Tanks, hmmm did you have something to do with that?) Thank you Brad and Susie Carlsen for all of your hard work, and for a great job organizing the many volunteers who came forward to help.
"I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." -- Edward Everett
The Booster Club needs the help of volunteers willing to step up and take on a challenge! If you've been to an event and thought, "It sure would have been fun if they'd done this ..." then WE NEED YOU! We are looking for event coordinators for next year. Your ideas and energy may be just what the Booster Club needs.
It's amazingly easy to see that as the number of people involved in an event goes up, the quality of the ideas and the ingenuity in getting them accomplished increases dramatically. Thank you for your support this past year, and please join us for an even better 2008-2009.

Also, please continue to send in your boxtops. In December we received a check from boxtops for $856! Our goal for the year was $1500. We surpassed that goal! Way to go Mill Pond! Congratulations to Mrs. Aguero's class who won the Banana Split party.

Popcorn Cards
- Popcorn cards were a great hit for those that chose to use them. Booster Club plans on selling them again next year. Cards are $5.00 and can be used for popcorn or ice pops. We limit children with cards to one bag of popcorn or two ice pops so they don't attempt to treat all their friends unbeknownst to mom or dad.
