Oakville High School Science Olympiad Team

Well, it's that time of year again when happy little teachers sign their extra duty contracts. Signed mine today, so I'm still the coach of our Science Olympiad team.

There are some pretty cool events this year, although Em is bummed that Sounds of Music is out of the rotation. This year, we're building bridges, launching eggs into space, and using our design and build talents in Junkyard Wars.

Problem is, we have no money. It took me awhile to find a way to make money without costing ANYBODY ANYTHING, but I found it. All we have to do is search the internet, and each search will net our group one cent. It doesn't sound like much, but we need about 400 dollars a year. If 100 people do 2 searches on average per day, we will make $730 dollars in one year. I'm thinking this is a great idea, so please try to help. Go to www.GoodSearch.com and enter "Oakville High School" into the box under "Who do you choose to search for?". Click verify, then you can search for your term.


The best thing to do is to download the searchbox on your browser toolbar. That way you will remember to use Good Search and help our Oakville S.O. Team.

Just use it to search as you normally would.

For everyone who is tapped out with fundraising, I hope this will be an easy and painless way to raise the money we need to fund our team.

Speaking of pain, my feet are killing me. I just have to learn to sit down when I teach, instead of pacing around. I guess it is the ADHD. I can't sit through meetings for more than 45 minutes either. In any meeting, just look around and there I am in the back standing since I just can't sit for very long. Monday was heck for me, we sat in meetings all day. I thought I'd lose my mind. Thank goodness classes started.
