From the Principal:
A huge thank you to our 6th grade students who have just completed a service project initiated by their English teachers, Mrs. Terri Clay and Mrs. Jill Smith. All 238 students participated by donating various personal items, (i.e., toiletries, gift cards, dvd’s) and included personal letters written by the students. These items were packaged and shipped to our military serving in Iraq. In all, 25 boxes were sent.
The student council and Mr. Anthony Morey orchestrated a food drive for all of the homerooms at the middle school, with the Kid’s Food Basket and God’s Kitchen being the recipients. I am happy to inform you that 2,552 food items have been collected for Kid’s Food Basket and 2,461 for God’s Kitchen. A big thank you to Mr. Morey, the student council officers; Sally Marsh, Jillian Langford, Jack Ruppert, Erik Molenaar, the student council representatives and everyone who provided the many items to make this drive a success.
Thank you to the many students, parents and staff for your generous gifts of monetary donations, gift cards, and food for our families in need. We will provide an update after the holidays. We are so fortunate to have such a giving community.
Congratulations to the music students and staff on all of the wonderful holiday concert performances this week. We are so fortunate to have so many talented students.
May you have a restful, safe, and enjoyable holiday season with family and friends. Classes resume Monday, January 4, 2010!!
Best Regards,
Mr. Stuursma
