We are planning to conduct a school wide service project on the two half days in November (14th and 15th) the Report Card Conference dates. This will facilitate parent involvement and encourage community building. All members of the central High School community, including parents are asked to donate a food item for the Connecticut Food Bank. For that week, November 13-November 15, we will be holding a non-perishable food drive. Students and staff will be encouraged to bring in food and leave it at the Main Office. Bags for classroom collection of food items will be distributed by BuildOn personnel that Tuesday. The focus for the service project will be “Hunger and Homelessness.” The BuildOn staff will be generating curricula for the first period on the 14th related to the theme of hunger and homelessness. If you prefer to prepare your own lesson on that theme, you may do so. If you wish to use the lesson in all your classes for the day, you may do that as well. My request is that at least for period one, all students are exposed through a variety of disciplines to a thoughtful exercise on hunger and homelessness. On the 15th, about 60 BuildOn students will be leaving the school to do a service project at United Congregational Church. Thanks for your support of this community initiative.
