Digital Potluck Planning

This Wednesday at MHS turns out to be one of those school marathon days—off and running at 7:45 with nine normal periods, plus one activity period, an extra hour meeting beginning pronto at 3:20, then the annual open house for parents beginning at 6:30 p.m. Well when life (or school) hands you a lemon . . . make lemonade.

Principal Bryan suggested a covered-dish dinner to be squeezed into the 4:20 to 6:20 time slot. Great idea, especially for those who make an hour round-trip commute to school. But, let’s make this even better. The potluck dinner will be held off premises, just a hop, skip, and a jump away at the Spear’s. And even if you live close, plan on joining this “lemonade” gathering. It will definitely be the most fun and relaxing part of your day.

uShirts First Quarter Success!

January 2008 marked the revival of the Future Business Leaders of America organization at Milton High School. Twelve dynamic business students accepted the challenge to join, brainstorm, and innovate. The initial result . . . uShirts.

What’s uShirts, you ask? A uShirt is a t-shirt designed by you. Your idea, your design, your shirt. Simply submit either electronically or on paper your creative design, and FBLA members, i.e., uShirt employees, craft your shirt for you.

The uShirts business opened on March 16, 2008, with a blowout advertising campaign, and sales soared from Day 1. In the first three months of business, uShirts crafted 91 t-shirts! Here’s an order form if you want a uShirt.

Watch for the launch of FBLA’s next business venture . . . an online school store coming Fall of 2008.
