GRUB CLUB:  This year a group of entrepreneurial Upper School students started a club called “Grub Club.”  The purpose of this club is to provide concessions at sporting/school events that typically don’t have food and drink for sale.  The club purchased all of the materials, marketed and manned their “store” and provided service for over 14 events.  The proceeds from the club provided enough funds to purchase 36 bicycles for Bikes for Mission Arlington.  The club also arranged matching, so in total 72 bikes will be delivered this Saturday, December 14.  Job well done to Seniors Veng Seng Lor, Tiffany Tu, Vincent Germain, and the many others who created and sustained the Grub Club!
