For those of you who don't know Noodles & Notes is the middle schools biggest fundraiser. Last year I was the c0-chair and this year it was all me! I will NEVER do it again. I will always help, but I'll do like the bake sale or decorations. It's just to much for little ol' me! It was successful, we raised a lot of money for the music departments, but I'm glad it's over. We've had meetings since September so I am looking forward to all those free nights!
