Ms. Kellett Note from Mrs. Olson : If you wish to be involved in Ryder's "Carve Out Cancer" 5K Race and Festival at Dodgen on Sat., Oct. 8, you can register for the race and read more information about the festival at this link: http://www.active.com/donate/ryder5K The beneficiary of this race is the Rally Foundation (www.rallyfoundation.org) which was started as a response to 8th grade teacher, Nancy Olson's, quest to improve how under-funded childhood cancer research is after her son, and former Dodgen student, Will Olson, was being treated for a relapse of his brain and spinal tumors. Unfortunately, Will is currently being treated for a second relapse. During the week of Oct. 3-7, Dodgen's Awareness Club is collecting donations for the national fundraiser 4 Quarters 4 Research, which is a Rally fundraiser that was started in honor (and unfortunately now in memory) of Pope senior football player, Matt Hobby, who battled cancer in his junior and senior year at Pope. All donations are welcome--cash, check or change! Thank you for your generosity!

To be a member of the club is an extreme honor because a student has demonstrated that he/she has a strong commitment to school and learning. A member must maintain a 3.5 Grade Point Average (honor roll for the entire school year) and complete twenty hours of community service with a minimum of ten of those hours completed with school-related activities. The club meets once a month to discuss service projects and community involvement.

Officer Applications-7th grade students interested in running for office, please pick up an application after the meeting. Typically, you meet one day prior to the regular meeting to discuss service projects and other agenda items. Really, there is no distinction in the offices. All work together cooperatively. You do earn school hours for serving as an officer.
Relay for Life- Although we are not attending the event this year, we encourage you to raise money for Relay for Life. Ask your family members, friends, neighbors, etcetera for donations. For every $10 you raise, you receive one hour of school-related services. Donations may be cash or check; if a check, make payable to the American Cancer Society. All donations are tax deductible.
May Meeting- The May meeting will be held at 8:15 on Thursday, May 13. Location will be announced later. You will need to bring your service hour sheet at that time. Make sure that you have totaled up the number of hours. We will be giving awards for the most hours.
Thank you Beta members for helping with our various fundraisers and philanthropies. Please check your schedule before making a commitment to help with Beta activities. Keep in mind, once you volunteer, organizers will be expecting your assistance.

Tutoring: We have only 5 more tutoring sessions. We have increased the number of hours to 2 hours per session from next Tuesday until the Tuesday before spring break.

Tutoring—we desperately need more tutors, especially 8th graders. Tutoring is on Tuesday afternoons until 5:00. If we have too many tutors, teachers are always looking for helpers. We will continue tutoring until Spring Break.
Haiti Relief—for every $10, you will receive an hour of service. Have your home room teacher sign your service hour sheets.
