SODA: Rolling Terrace Elementary School needs your help hosting a Community dinner. Student volunteers are needed to help set up the room, serve food, clean up, mingle with the families and help facilitate discussions. RTES serves a diverse community, and would really love to have a few bilingual volunteers who speak Amharic, French, or Spanish. The community dinner will be held at Rolling Terrace Elementary School from 5:30 to 8:45 PM on Thursday, December 15th. Contact Mrs. Hanak or Mrs. Hiscock in room 130 if you would like to help as a list of volunteers will need to be generated beforehand. SSL hours will be granted to any Montgomery Blair students who help out with the event.

SEBASTIEN: Go check out the first collaboration between Blair’s finest ceramists and its talented gardeners. Pick out a custom-made pot and choose your favorite culinary herbs to go inside. Makes a great, practical holiday gift, besides being artisanal and local.  Also makes a great present for yourself. Prices range according to each piece and size of plant. Pieces will be sold Thursday and Friday during lunch and after school, outside the main office. Contact Mr. Verock or Mrs. Levien with any questions.  (Horticulture Club and Ceramics Club)
