A couple of quick things:

GLO-LO Tickets on sale tomorrow!

Last chance to buy Glo-Lo tickets will be tomorrow during both lunches and after school. $4 with ASB and $5 without. Bring your money. No tickets will be sold on Friday. Glo Sticks will be sold at the door.

Glo-lo is not a date dance, but it definitely is as fun as the disco dance. For this dance, kids dress up in white/neon - things that will glow in the black light, which is where the name comes from!
We need chaperones. Please contact Gil James jamesg@bsd405.org if you can help.

More Bond Calling Info
If you can't come down tonight or tomorrow to make calls, please, please talk to at least 5 friends and neighbors about the Bond. Let them know that construction costs skyrocketed while the first buildings were completed, and that in order to finish the remaining buildings, we need their support!!

If you or your student CAN call tonight or tomorrow, here are some great directions:

The phone bank time is 5:15-7:15 PM, but if you arrive late they will allow you to make calls until 8:30 PM.
The address of the Puget Sound Energy (PSE) building is 10885 NE 4th St. in downtown Bellevue at the intersection of 108th and NE 4th.
The best parking garage entrance is off 110th just south of NE 4th.
You need to be heading southbound on 110th to make the turn into the garage (not possible due to a barrier if heading northbound on 110th). Once you enter the garage you can park on Levels 1-4 after 5 PM in any spot marked visitor or monthly parking.
Leave your parking ticket in your car, since they will provide you with a parking coupon to show the parking attendant when you leave.
Take an elevator to the lobby and wait for a security guard at the sign on the easel that says Bellevue Quality Schools.
Security will send you up to the 9th floor via secured elevators.
Once you are on the 9th floor follow yellow signs printed with arrows pointing to Bellevue Quality Schools.
Get some complimentary food in the lunch room then go into the conference room to get training on how to make calls.
Make sure you sign-in and get your parking coupon.
