Good Morning and Happy Halloween!

ANDY PARKER’S WEATHER MACHINE + THOMAS MARKS = AN AWESOME SCIENCE LESSON!

We are back at it again for the month of November.  I challenge everyone to vote for Thomas Marks Elementary to the top of the Weather Word standings.  Yes that is right – let’s get into first place!  With all of you voting as much as possible in your day you are helping us achieve the top prize.   

I know this weekend may be tough with Halloween just a couple of days away, but we need every vote we can get to be ahead in the game.   Remember you can vote as many times a day as you can.  Pass on the word to family, friends, and co-workers! 

We are in 2nd  place after one day of voting.   School #4 in Dunkirk is in first place, Royalton-Hartland is in third place

The Weather Word for today and this weekend is….  "Fetch"
Fetch:  The distance air goes across the lake forming the lake effect snow or rain.  A short fetch air goes over a shorter distance of water.  A long fetch air goes over a longer distance of water.

We are in  2nd  place.    We are  behind School #4 in Dunkrik. They've gained a little ground yesterday.   My challenge still stands to take over 1st place.  Roy-Hart is still behind us and want to keep it that way.    Keep those votes coming in!

  Today’s challenge is to vote 20 more times if you are counting your votes or 20 minutes longer than you did yesterday!   Don't settle for 2nd!  Let's bump Dunkirk out of first place!

We are in   FIRST PLACE!!!!!.     NOW WE NEED TO PULL FORWARD AND NEVER LOOK BACK!   Today’s challenge is to vote 25 more times if you are counting your votes or 20 minutes longer than you did yesterday!   
If you are using the short cut please double check to make sure all of the information is correct.  I've noticed that sometimes either Alfred-Almond or Barker shows up in the school slot.  Plus Alfred-Almond has jumped into the top 10 and I'd like to keep them at the bottom of that list.

Being #1 -- finally, something I can relate to.

OOPS!!!!!  Sorry!!!!!

That Alfred-Almond may have been partly my fault as I have caught myself hitting back one too many times and unfortunately hitting submit before I noticed the mistake.  Will definitely be more careful in the future.

Carol Ann

Carol, Don't worry about that. I've done the same thing!

I caught myself doing the same one Saturday-Barker got a few unintentional votes.  So I've just been opening a new tab for each vote-takes a tad longer, but no mistakes.

Me too.  :paperbag:

Good Morning!

ANDY PARKER’S WEATHER MACHINE + THOMAS MARKS = AN AWESOME SCIENCE LESSON!

Remember you can vote as many times a day as you can.  Pass on the word to family, friends, and co-workers!  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour Saturday night!  Oh boy that’ll give us an extra hour to vote! 

We are still in first place!   Hurray!!!  We need to make our lead even greater by becoming voting machines this weekend!  The weather is suppose to be a mix of rain and snow on Friday, and Saturday and maybe a  little sun on Sunday so the weekend challenge is to vote more than you have been all week long!  If you voted 25 times yesterday, increase that to 50 votes or many more each day!   If you spent an hour throughout the day increase it everyday over the weekend!     

The Weather Word for the weekend is….    Light   (meaning light rain or snow)

I'm starting to worry about Heidi.

Why?

I was half joking, but the request for everyone to become voting machines and spend an additional hour or more each day voting could seem a bit odd to the casual observer.

I hope by next weekend she's not asking us to spend 8 hours a day voting.

 :2funny:

That's a work day...do we get paid?

Sorry Dunna, she's not rich enough pay all the voters for their time!

She does get a little fanatical about her "KIDS" tho.

Shaky. I'll let her know about your concerns. I know Heidi wouldn't want you to not work on your

book.

That's ok. I'm good at multitasking.

50 votes. Done in 15 minutes.

Bumping for Sunday

If you're using the shortcut method (back one page & refresh) be careful!  For some reason today it's resetting to Barker...

Ei, try going back one page, and clicking on the Security code. That should chance the code, and you can highlight/ delete the old code and retype the new one.
Thanks for the bumping!

The first bunch of times I did it this morning going back one page went back to Barker & I almost missed it.  I started over with a fresh tab & it's working OK now. 

It's halftime between the Bills and the Bears. Time to do my 50.

Good Morning!
ANDY PARKER’S WEATHER MACHINE + THOMAS MARKS = AN AWESOME SCIENCE LESSON!!

We are holding in first place and have extended our lead!     Make our lead even greater by becoming voting machines again today and secure our lead!   Today’s challenge is vote 40 times or more today.   This can be done throughout the day and evening.   I know it seems a lot, but the votes add up! 

If you are using a short cut - please make sure that the Thomas Marks is on the voting ballot.  Sometimes the ballot changes to Alfred Almond or Barker and guess what ?  You just voted for another school!  We don't want that.....

We are still in first place, however West Street Elementary jumped int2ND place and is right on our shirt tails.  We can’t get comfortable in our first place lead.

Hi everyone,
 
Please keep voting....   the other school is really only a few votes behind us.         If you are on facebook, please share the weather word information with your friends and get them on board PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Good Morning!

We are on thin ice in first place.  There are only 103 votes separating us from West Street!
I’m not giving up or slowing down and I hope you are not either.  This contest isn’t over until Sunday, Nov. 21st at 8 p.m.  We can do this – you’ve proved it this week that we have it in us to win!!!!   

New Challenge:  I’ve noticed that the number of daily votes that collectively everyone (the school district, kids, families, businesses, friends from far and near) is doing approximately  3500 plus votes daily.  My challenge is that collectively we tally a total of 5000 or more votes each day this weekend.  Plus find a new friend(s), to help us vote during this last week of voting.  If you are on Facebook, please inform your friends about our quest for Andy’s Weather Machine.  What a great way to get your friends to vote, and they can get friends to vote too!!!   We need to really push it this next week.   

Remember:  If you are using a short cut - please make sure that the Thomas Marks is on the voting ballot.  Sometimes the ballot changes to Alfred Almond or Barker and guess what?  You just voted for another school!  We don't want that.....

I just voted 103 times so now the West Street crowd has to make up a 206-vote deficit.

Any of you "ladies" think you can beat my number?

Hey!  I resemble that remark!  :gum:

{trying to sneak some extra voting in during the day...not easy...  :secret2: }

I voted for one hour while watching the Martha S. Show this AM- didn't count votes but probably up there.  :thumbsup:

Thanks for all your votes!
 

I'm going for 150 votes today and 200 tomorrow, 250 if the Bills win.

Since Heidi is originally from Buffalo,i'm sure she'll be happy if the Bills win.

Let's try to keep Heidi CALM. .. Vote as often as you can.

 ( Shaky should the Bills not win, the 250 would still be appreciated)

I have noticed many of the schools have not put in their for all their extra credits, including Thomas Marks. ;)  So it could get dicey towards the end. So everyone keep voting.

We have Lexie taken care of so lets go for 3 out of 3.  :2thumbsup:  :2thumbsup:

Please Vote!!!
Go Bills Go..............

Great, now I need to vote another 50 times.

Yeah!  The Bill's won-finally!!!!!!!!!  :mbanana:

Sorry this is so late/

Good Morning!

ANDY PARKER’S WEATHER MACHINE + THOMAS MARKS = AN AWESOME SCIENCE LESSON!!

We are still in First Place!  But barely!  Andy mentioned on the show that we are only 300 votes apart.

This is the last week of voting.  It’s time to give the final push of this month’s contest.  I’m not giving up or slowing down and I hope you are not either.  The last day of contest is Sunday, Nov. 21st at 8 p.m.  We can do this – you’ve all proved it this week that we have it in us to win by
staying in first place!!!!   It’s a nail biter of a contest! 
Challenge:  Okay so at this point we didn’t make Friday’s challenge, but we did manage to stay ahead not by much.  Friday we were just shy of 4000 votes.  So my challenge for today remains the same:  that we collectively tally a total of 5000 votes today.  My gut feeling tells me we can make this challenge.  It would put us that much more ahead of West Street.  Find another  new friend(s) to help us vote during this last week of voting.  If you are on Facebook, please inform your friends about our quest for Andy’s Weather Machine.   What a great way to get your friends to vote and they can get friends to vote too!!!   We need to really push it this week.

Good Morning!
We have fallen into 2nd place.  As of right now we are 1,193 votes behind.There is no
 
reason why we cannot catch up and own first place once again tomorrow.  Vote as many
 
times as you can today.

Just 6 more days of voting.  It’s time to give the final push of this month’s contest.  I’m not giving up or slowing down and I hope you are not either.  The last day of contest is Sunday, Nov. 21st at 8 p.m.  We can do this – we have it in us to win!!!!   

It’s a nail biter of a contest and its not over until its over.

Battle Cry Challenge: Hutch (our school mascot) says,  "Pull out all the votes you possibly
can".  Vote until your hands drop off!  Collectively we need to put in 6000 votes in the
basket today in order to surpass it.  West Street put in 5100 votes in their basket
yesterday.  Lets get voting!

Hutch's Battle Cry worked yesterday!  All you collectively surpassed his challenge of 6000 votes beyond his imagination!   Congratulations!  However  Hutch increased today's Battle Cry Challenge  to log  8,000 votes today!
 
We are back in 1st place but its not safe yet as we have 5 more days of voting left and our lead isn't that great just yet!  West Street could easily take back first place just we did .  It's not over until Sunday Nov. 21st at 8 p.m.

Voting Hint we discovered today:  For those who do a lot of internet searches and are use to opening a couple of windows at a time, try opening more than one window with the weather machine website.  Vote on one page and submit and while that page is refreshing, go to the next page and vote and submit, then repeat!  It works great!  Many more votes per minute!  Still remember to make sure that the correct school and county are on the page.  We don't want to vote for another school!

Hutch found out we only did 277 votes more than West Street even though collectively logged just over 7000 votes yesterday (nice work!).    He knows we can log in more votes than that since together we logged even more than 10,000 votes on Tuesday!  Hutch doesn't want us to take our lead for granted!


Thomas Marks is currently in 1st place.  This is the final weather word for the November contest.  We are in the home stretch but there are 3 critical days of voting left.  Please do not slow down this weekend.  It wouldn't take much for West Street to take over 1st place.  This is our last chance so to own the contest!!!  The last day of voting is on Sunday, November 21st at 8 p.m.  Please vote as much as you can all weekend long.  Let's get voting!!
