Mr. (funny Walter)Trinka. What’s up? It was pretty crazy in Mrs. Kemper’s class when we all started to sing cake day. Some of the EMS kids looked at us like we were crazy. I’ve been hearing talk about Cake Day T-Shirts. What’s going on about this? fill me in.

Doug, click the link and follow it to the cakes for kiva page. That explains the whole project. The long of the short is that we are raising money by selling shirts so we can donate money to impoverished entrepreneurs in developing countries.

Hey, Mr. Trinka!! I just wanted you to know that I created a new xtranormal video! It is not as funny as the other two, but it promotes your cake day t-shirts pretty well. Here is the link:http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/5701773/ Yeah, so it is not that funny, but it makes a little fun of Nan. You are the princaple of the school and I made you have an awesome australian accent. See you tomorrow!!

okay so have you picked a design for the cake day shirts yet?? if you did i’m gonna be super duper mad at you. anyways, i got really bored yesterday and i came up with a really good design. it’s like this dinosaur that stuffing it’s face with cake. it’s soooo awesome. and with my fantastic artistic skills and everything, it’s like the best dinosaur EVER. i swear.

Merry Christmas Mr. Trinka!! Haha I was the first student to tell you that because nobody else cares about you but me.
By: Zachary Allen on December 25, 2009
at 3:02 pm
okay so Mr. Trinka i hope you had a Merry Christmas! (and blah blah blah) my point is that i got some TOMS shoes today and I get to choose which country my other pair goes to and since your like an “expert” on other countries I want to give it to the most-needy. My choices are: Argentina, Armenia, China, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, South Africa, Swaziland, Uganda, Zambia, Ethiopia, and the USA. Im totally not giving to the USA though. If you don’t respond back soon i’m just going to go with Ethiopia because they need it for podoconiosis prevention too, and none of the other countries need shoes for that. okay thanks!
By: nan sowers on December 26, 2009
at 6:50 pm
i went with Ethiopia because i looked up podoconiosis and it freaked me out! thanks anyways though!
By: nan sowers on December 26, 2009
at 6:55 pm
THAT IS AWESOME! I am so happy that you took the time to donate another pair of shoes to someone in need.
People in Ethiopia could really use those. It was a fantastic choice on your part!
By: Eric Trinka on December 26, 2009
at 10:02 pm
im glad! plus they are cool-looking! oh and im the first one to get them at our school so thats a plus!
By: nan sowers on December 27, 2009
at 2:58 pm
i am tellin you. it is the best dinosaur ever. and as soon as i figure out how, i’m going to upload a picture of it onto the website. (if thats even possible i’m not entirely sure). anyways i do not appreciate you not responding to my last comment. i really do need to know if you’ve already picked a design cause i’m not quite done with this one and i might as well quit now if you have.
By: kendra carrier on December 27, 2009
at 8:48 pm
Why don’t you simply email it to me as an attachment. Then I can check it out.
By: Eric Trinka on December 28, 2009
at 6:46 pm
well i did take a picture of it. but now i can’t find my camera cord. we have all these stupid cords that i have no clue what they go to. it’s really stupid. and they all look exactly the same and i can’t figure out witch one is mine. grr

yikes! sounds like an ordeal!
By: Eric Trinka on December 31, 2009
at 8:53 pm
well darn. turns out you can’t copy and paste into the little comment box thingy. way to go mr trinka. you just made my life totally miserable.(don’t think i spelled that right). haha just kidding. but now you’ll have to wait untill the end of the break to see my awesome design and that’s like a whole week away.

Hey Mr. Trinka!!! just got back from my first day skiing (totally awesome) and i was wondering, we do have a unit test Tues. right? i had it written down but it wasnt on the homework and i was all confuzzled.
By: Maddie on January 2, 2010

Your test is Thursday.
Welcome Back!
By: Eric Trinka on January 3, 2010
at 8:39 pm
mr. trinka! okay so i have an idea! how about you don’t count that 12-2 and 12-3 quiz! ryan says he is studying but he doesn’t look like he is. but anyways i think the quiz was pretty hard and so you should be nice while grading it if it absolutely must count… which im guessing it is. oh and brazil and columbia are close enough so i think i got the flowers one right!
okay see you thursday!

Heyy,
I was wondering if it’s to late to be getting a shirt…I really really really really want one:)
By: Juana Benitez on January 23, 2010
at 9:03 pm
It’s not too late at all Juana! You can download an order form from the website and give it to either Sally Meyer or Samantha Patterson to give to me. If you can’t find them, you can have the SHS office send it to the MMS office. Just make sure you make the check out to MMS. SPREAD THE WORD! We need to sell about 200 of these shirts.
Thanks for supporting us!
