This project, being so large, will require the additional support of our school and
community. We will need craft materials, snack items, plus additional supplies like paper
products to help with the organization. By making a cash donation, these funds will help pay
for the items mentioned above and give these children a wonderful, lasting memory. You
may choose to become a classroom Co-sponsor or a Grade Level Co-sponsor. For cosponsorship opportunities (families or businesses) see (Donation Form).
Please help The College Park PTO with this wonderful holiday project by sending a check
(payable to TWCP PTO). It will take not only a force to accomplish such a big event, but
also a substantial amount of funding. The College Park Family is always willing to help
others in need!
Checks can be turned in to the front office at CP. For more information contact Marlene
Killian at [email protected].

WOODLANDS RUGBY:
Rugby is a game that develops leadership, team spirit, courage, sportsmanship, and friendship. Garrett Soileau started playing rugby
his freshman year. Like most individuals who start playing rugby, he quickly fell in love and learned to play the game well. He was
selected for Texas High Performance teams every year and his senior year he played for the Rocky Mountain Challenge AllTournament Team and USA Rugby Stars and Stripes, reserved for the top 50 Boys and top 50 Girls selected from Regional All Star
Tournaments. In response to the question of what he loves most about rugby, Garrett explains, "The fact that everyone has the
chance to prove themselves. In rugby everyone has the chance to take the ball in for the score and feel what it’s like to put points on
the board for your team. Forwards have to be able to pass just as good as backs and backs have to be able to go blow up a ruck if
needed. You basically have to be able to play any position which isn't like any other sport out there. "To me rugby means
opportunity. This sport has given me so many opportunities that I would have never gotten if it weren't for rugby. Because of rugby
I've had the privilege to represent my state and even represent my country. I've made friends with people all over the United States
and even overseas because of all the opportunities rugby has presented me with." Garrett is perfect example of everyone getting a
chance to prove themselves in rugby. He most recently was invited to the U20 Junior Men's All American World Trophy team. He
also plays for Arkansas State University Rugby Team. Come check out the fastest growing sport in the nation with the largest
rugby club in Texas!
Woodlands Youth Rugby will hold tryouts each Wednesday in November from 6-8 pm at Alden Bridge Sports Park. Players
from all area schools are welcome.

TWCP CLUB INFORMATION
BEST BUDDIES:
Meeting in the Library: Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014
FISHING CLUB:
TWCP fishing club is a student run club. With parent and teacher sponsor help, we participate in high school bass fishing
tournaments. We have approximately 18 members and we currently need members with access to a bass boat. The door is always
open to every CP high school student interested in pitching their fishing skills against other high schools in local bass fishing leagues.
We travel at least once a month to lakes such as Conroe, Livingston, Lake Houston, Sam Rayburn and LBJ. We currently hold the 2014
Texas State Champions title for bass fishing. 3 of our teams placed in the top 5 on Conroe last month. In December we will compete
against over 200 boats from over 30 schools in the SETX fishing league on Sam Rayburn reservoir.
For more information contact our club president Joe Beebee or vice president Will Brady, or check us out through Facebook at
TWCPfishing.
Good luck to the CP teams this weekend on Livingston. And stay warm out there!

SHARE IT FORWARD CLUB:
The Share It Forward Club is leading the Warmth Campaign. Donations can be brought to Room 2309. Here are the details:
This quarter, we are focusing on donating warm blankets, jackets, and articles of clothing to the local people of Houston as the days
begin to get shorter and cooler. Thanksgiving and Christmas are characterized as times of joy, comfort and family, but their also times
of great struggle. We want to make it easier for those who don't have the means to buy basic necessities. Our goal is to be able to
provide them.
Our goal is to collect 15-30 blankets and 50 articles of clothing by December 5th. All of the supplies are going to Star of Hope, an
organization that primarily works with the homeless of Houston. These supplies will be going to families, children and adults alike.
Here's their website for more information: http://www.sohmission.org/home
