Every Valentines Day at our school, we do a special fundraiser called candy grams. A Candy gram is basically a valentine message that is sent with a piece of candy attached to the card. Almost every year the 8th grade does three types: friendly, super friendly, and mushy. This year when the 8th grade chose the rhymes it took a long time. But when we finally decided, we were happy with our choices. The friendly rhyme is monkey, monkey in a tree; I wish you were up here with me. The super friendly is rubies are red, sapphires are blue, you are a gem, so I’ll treasure you. The mushy rhyme is the rain keeps the flowers from dying, the sun keeps the earth lit up when it’s shining, and the night-time sky has a blanket of stars and the moon, and baby I got you! I wish they would have used this rhyme: Roses are red, lizards are green, you’re the best looking thing I’ve ever seen. The 8th grade does candy grams every year as a graduation fundraiser. This year a lot of other kids in my class are helping a lot and I (Chelsea). Now all we need is for more kids in my class to bring candy because we usually make about 3,000 candy grams. So, far I think we’ve got about 1,500 so I guess we’re half way there. I’ll report back to you when something else exciting happens.

After the Fact
Well, what can I say? We just got back from our week of vacation and my class just found out about how much money we made off of the candy grams. This morning when I asked my teacher, he announced to the class that we made over $600 from our candy gram fundraiser. That means we did better on the candy grams than almost every other class that has ever done candy grams (at least that’s what our teacher says). This is our second fundraiser this year and we’re doing really well so far. I think we have about $1,149 in our account because we have also gotten some donations. We’ve got a pep rally coming up soon and I can’t wait ‘till we get to go. There isn’t much else going on right now but I’ll get back to when something exciting happens.
