~UPDATES~
This week we weren't really able to paint all of the wooden cabinet/student store because we are on minimum day schedule, so the classes are really short. We tried to contact Jeannie so we can talk about the food we can sell for the student store, but we weren't able to get a hold of her. Julisa and I have decided that it would be a good idea to get a silkscreen and sell different t-shirts. When, Julisa went to Fresno State to talk about the project, one of the ladies said she might be able to donate so we can get a silkscreen, since that is her business. We still need to call her and see if she would be able to donate. If not there's another option, which is we can build a silkscreen ourselves. Next week, we are planning on contacting Jeannie again and also contacting the student from Fresno State who can help us with the silkscreen.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
This week we called other schools to ask about the food they are able to sell in their student stores and snack bars. Many of the people we called were very helpful and gave us websites we can go to that will provide snacks that schools are allowed to sell. Also, we finished painting the student store outline and borders. Next week we have to finish painting the inside of the student store and we also have to look up the chalk paint. Chalk paint is paint that you are able to write on, so we can write the prices of snacks on the board.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATES~
Currently, we are painting the wooden cabinet/student store. This week we painted the outlines of the cabinet in blue. Also, we met up with Jeannie to talk about the snacks we can sell during school hours. She said she still has to do more research about what snacks we can sell during school and after school, that don't contain too much sugar or sodium. We will probably meet up next week to talk more about it. Also, she said she can order the snacks for us. We didn't get donations this week because we didn't know if the fundraising request form was approved. We called Judy and she said it had been approved, so next week we are planning on getting donations for the snacks. Also, we are planning on having the wooden cabinet/student store all painted by next week.

~UPDATES~
We have been working on the student store cabinet. We started painting the cabinet outline and we will continue to work on it. Also, we made copies of the surveys for the students to choose which snacks they like the best. The teachers passed them out and gave us the completed surveys. We tallied up the results, so now we know which snacks the students prefer. We still need to work on getting donations for the student store and also we have to work on painting the rest of the wooden cabinet.
We haven't received the list of food we can sell during school, so we are still waiting on that. Also, we haven't been told rather or not the fundraising request form was approved, so we are waiting on that. Next week we will try to have the wooden cabinet/student store all painted.
~ENGLISH STANDARDS~
(W) 1a. Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
A. Introduce precise, knowledgeable claim(s), establish the significance of the claim(s), distinguish the claim(s) from alternate or opposing claims, and create an organization that logically sequences claim(s), counter-claims, reasons, and evidence.
This week we had to work on our student store proposal. We had to make it persuasive and informative. The proposal had to inform the reader why we want to have a student store on campus. We had to support our claim by talking about how students are thirsty or hungry after school, so the student store would be very helpful. Especially to those who are in sports and don't have the time to walk to the store just to buy a drink. The proposal had to be organized and easy to understand. We used valid information to calculate the budget for the cost of the snacks. Overall, the proposal had to be informative and precise.

~STUDENT STORE UPDATE~
Currently, we are waiting for the fundraising request form to be approved, but meanwhile we have been working on other things. We have revised the cover letter for the businesses with Ms. Pilcher and Mr. Ryan. Also, we went to the District Office to ask if there are any food we are not allowed to sell after school. Pretty much what they told us is that we can sell any snacks that we please, as long as they are legal. Then, we asked if there are any food/snacks we can sell during school and they said they would send us the list of district approved snacks. We have found out that the student store can't be open right after school, it has to be opened at 3:30 p.m. so now the student store will be held at 3:30-4:30 p.m. Right now Mathew is working on adding shelves to the wooden cabinet student store. Then, after he is done we can help him paint it.
Next week, after the request form is approved, we will start looking for places to receive donations for the store. We will give the business owners the cover letter to explain who we are and what's the purpose of having a student store. Hopefully, we are able to receive food or money so we can open the store. The store money will be going to ASB, so the school in general.
~ENGLISH STANDARDS~
(W) 2a. Write informative/explanatory texts to examine and convey complex ideas, concepts, and
information clearly and accurately through the effective selection, organization, and analysis
of content.
A. Introduce a topic or thesis statement; organize complex ideas, concepts, and information so
that each new element builds on that which precedes it to create a unified whole.
This week we have been working on the cover letter for the businesses. The cover letter had to be organized properly and had to get right to the point. We tried using many concepts we have learned in the past to create a professional letter. The letter had to be clear so the business owners would know what we are seeking donations for and how the student store would benefit the school. Overall, the letter has to be organized, effective, and unified as a whole and I think we did exactly that.
