Happy New Year!
In the New Year we have new service learning projects, spirit days, and responsibilities for your child. I just wanted to keep you in the loop so nothing gets lost between school and home. I am so very proud of all their hard work. These students are always eager to serve in any way possible.
Below is more information on our Service Learning Projects. This is a HUGE part of what Student Council does. They are learning to support their community, responsibility, caring, money management, and showing respect to others. If you follow me on twitter, any time I post information on the Service Learning Project for the month I will use the hashtag #Reidvillecares.
Blue Star Mothers Service Learning
Student Council is sponsoring this Service Learning project that will collect items to go into care packages for soldiers who are stationed overseas. It's not much, but small reminders that we appreciate what they do.
In our meeting, the students were so excited to include little thank you notes. The soldiers will receive the packages just in time for Valentine's Day.
All students should have received a note home with more details on what may be included in a care package.
Hug-A-Grams
A hug-a-gram is a Valentine with a small goody attached to it. Order forms will go home so that parents can purchase a hug-a-gram for their children.
We are asking Student Council members to donate things such as fruit gummy snacks or Valentine themed pencils to sell or zip top bags to keep the valentine attached to the item. We will also sell rubber bracelets and small stuffed animals.
All the proceeds will go towards Team Reidville March of Dimes.
March of Dimes
March of Dimes provides the education and care to help more babies see more birthdays. So much has changed in the last 10-20 years, but still babies are born prematurely and MOD is there to help.
In March we will have a Baby Bottle challenge to see which class can collect the most change for MOD.
