Salvation Army Canned Food Drive
HCCSC schools are the main contributors to the Salvation Army holiday food drive. This is a great opportunity for our students to get involved with an organization here in town.
All canned goods and non-perishables will be delivered to the Salvation Army on Tuesday, December 5th. For this reason, we are planning to have the canned food drive run now through December 1st.
We can only accept non-perishable food. Please check the expiration dates before sending in food to make sure it is not expired. The winning class will get a popcorn party the beginning of December. Thank you for your support of our community.

Body Safety Lessons in November
CLASSROOM LESSONS In November, the counselors at each elementary school in Huntington County Community Schools present and share safety information with all students in kindergarten through fifth grades. We show a series of short videos from Fightchildabuse.org that range from approximately 2 to 4 minutes each. These videos deal with the subject of body safety and present it to your students in a clear, strong, positive way. After watching them, we discuss safety issues. If they think that their body is threatened, we suggest options for them to pursue as part of a body safety plan. They know that they must talk to an adult that they trust. Adults must also know that they need to listen to children when they have such a concern. You may view these videos on fightchildabuse.org if you wish by selecting the appropriate grade range for your child, either K-3 or 4-6. I personally believe that these videos present the information to students very well – in ways that are easy to understand. If children have questions, I do my best to answer them and encourage them to talk to their parents. If they have a private matter to discuss, then we make an appointment to discuss this in private. That way we respect others’ privacy and keep information confidential. If your children have questions after watching and discussing the videos, please feel free to discuss this with them. You may also call me to clarify the content of the videos or what was discussed with the children. As always, I care for your children, and I want them to be safe. It is my responsibility as their counselor to educate them about ways to be safe. I appreciate having the privilege of working with your children, and I am open to discussing their safety with you. Thank you! Mrs. Terpstra, School Counselor at Andrews
