Person 1 : Are you ready?

Person 2 : For what?

Person 1: FOR DOUGHNUTS OF COURSE!!!

Person 2: OOOH that’s right.  Student Council is running the annual Christmas Charity homeroom competition this year.

Person 1:  The homeroom that raises the most money will get a doughnut party that Santa would be sorry to miss.

Person 2:  What’s so good about just getting doughnuts?

Peron 1: Hold on its not just doughnuts, you can possibly have it all.  Hot Chocolate, milk, OJ, fruit, bagels, Christmas cookies. You name it you got it!  And all of that happens on Dec 21st the day you leave for break.  So, what a great way to end the year before Christmas break than with a spread the likes of Buddy the Elf has NEVER seen!

Person 2:  Does second place get anything?

Person 1:  Yuppers!  The homeroom that gets second place will get a regular donut party….. so just donuts…. Which is still pretty cool. And those donuts will also be there on Dec 21st before you leave for break.

Person 2:  Does third place get anything? 

Person1:  The rumor is there homeroom gets high fives from Mr. Marzock on Dec 21st

Person 2:  That prize sounds better than the rest.

Person 1:  So don’t be a cotton headed ninny muggings and help out some local Ephrata families this holiday season.

Person 2: Every little bit counts.

Person 1:  That is pretty sweet

Person 2: Sweeter than a candy cane.

Person 1: So talk to your homeroom teacher to see how you can spread Christmas cheer for all the world to hear, this holiday season!

Possible evidence of voter fraud in a North Carolina House election is rocking the state. North Carolina requires witnesses, typically relatives or friends, to sign absentee ballots. But 161 absentee ballots shared the same small group of witnesses, many who apparently know each other. A common connection runs through Leslie McCrae Dowless, an operative who worked for the campaign of Mark Harris, the Republican who leads the race by 905 votes. Dowless reportedly has denied any wrongdoing. 

On this day in history,

on this day in 1954 The first Burger King  was opened in Miami, Florida by James McLamore and David Edgerton. Burger King continued to grow slowly and in 1967 followed other fast food chains by allowing franchise restaurants. The idea was copied from the fast food restaurant concept introduced by Dick and Mac McDonald
