THIS IS AN "A" WEEK SO FRIDAY IS AN "A" DAY
 
Great German food and music and dancing!

German Club members would like to go to the Oktoberfest in Choctaw THIS Friday, Sept 7, from 6:30 to 9 p.m.  We need parent drivers to transport the students and to supervise while there.  Please email Frau Boudreau at  circus1951@hotmail.com,
if you would be able to drive 4-5 students.  Parking and admission are free, and the food and drinks run from $2 to $22.
 
JOHNNIES NIGHT - The first Thursday of each month is Classen Night at Johnnie's on Britton Road.  This Thursday, Sept 6, is the first Classen Night for this school year.  Say "Classen" when you order and Johnnie's will donate 10% to our students going to Germany in June, 2008.  This is good for take-out or dine in.  See
you at Johnnie's!
