September 9 is Dining Out at Pizza My Way!

Wednesday, September 9, all day, Pizza My Way in Pacific Grove at 1157 Forest Avenue  is contributing 30% of their sales from dine-in, take-out, and delivery (to their designated area) to go towards Junior Wings. 

Please let all of your family and friends know to go that day and buy a pizza.

Thank you Pizza My Way for your support of Junior Wings!

Homework for September 8

Look up the Wikipedia definition of:

Last, follow this link (http://sankan.kunaicho.go.jp/english/guide/kyoto.html) to see a 10-minute video of the Kyoto Imperial Palace (click the big View button).  Although we cannot go inside the palace, we will walk along its entire length and we'll see several of the gates shown in the video.

Tea Ceremony/Welcome Party Update

To confirm, we will be meeting at the Russells' home (901 Alameda St) at 12:45 tomorrow to leave shortly before 1:00 for the tea ceremony in Pebble Beach.  The ceremony itself will start at 1:30 and will last until about 2:30.  I expect we will be back at our house by 2:45.  Remember to dress nicely, but comfortably with clean, all-white socks and to remove dangly earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.  Also remove, or don't wear, large or flashy rings.  For those with long hair, please tie it up or back to prevent it from falling in your tea bowl when you bow!

After we return to our house, we will work on a Welcome Banner with Ms. Weiss and Ms. Pettas until 4:00pm.  All students who can, please stay and help make the banner.

See you all tomorrow for a serene, but fun afternoon!

Ramen Fundraiser Practice

On Tuesday the chaperones met to try our hand at making ramen from scratch and to test the feasibility of a Ramen/Anime Fundraising Party.  Results were delicious and we had a lot of fun making everything.  We will now investigate how to make the fundraiser happen.  I'll keep you posted.
