Day of Service and Remembrance

9/11 is a day to remember the past, but also to think forward on ways to honor the work of the heroes on that day through service and remembrance going forward.  

At Monday's All School Meeting, I will talk briefly about this day, and invite students to think of ways they can serve their community.  This will be completely optional, and I will encourage students to come to me with their ideas.  Teachers are welcome to talk about it with their classes, but I am more than happy to meet with kids "outside of class" if they are interested in organizing something. With the playground fundraisers currently in place (ButterBraids and Grand Opening BBQ), this is completely optional, and something I'm encouraging interested students to pursue on their own.

Below are some helpful links:

• Helping for Hurricanes (revised from Harvey to include Irma)- inviting students to work around their house to earn money for hurricane victims
• Hurricane Resources (thank you, Anissa)
• Environmental Service ideas 
• Green Apple Day of Service
• Keep America Beautiful website

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you'd like help with any individual or class projects.

Thank you for your support!
