SERVICE
IN OUR COMMUNITY
HOW SWEET IT IS…
William Cappel kindergarten students showed an active duty soldier, who had been
injured while serving in a third tour in Afghanistan, “how sweet it is” to be loved 1
by them! Students wrote Brennan Lagemann, cousin of one of their teachers, getwell letters and drew him pictures. With the help of Mennemeyer Orthodontics,
the young students sweetened the deal by sending over boxes of Halloween candy.
SERVICE TO ALL AGES
Through their earned “choice” time, New Horizons High School (NHHS)
2 students complete a weekly service project. Last school year the small,
but mighty, group of students brought joy to community members of all
ages with their creative service. NHHS created re-usable Christmas cards
and ornaments for senior citizens, baked goods for local veterans, made
holiday accessories for pre-kindergarten students, treated district bus drivers
on Valentine’s Day, and made coloring books for children in foster care.
SERVING YEAR ‘ROUND
Troy Middle School likes to give back all year long. Students and staff
warmed up the community during December 2012 by collecting more 3
than 800 items for our community. Students hosted a “penny war” for the
local animal rescue organization, Pets A-Lone Sanctuary and rounded
out their school year by collecting soda tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.
KID-SPIRATION
Dalton Hoffman, a ?fth grade student at Hawk Point Elementary, was called to action
4 after cleaning his closet during Christmas Break. “I have a lot of clothes that don't ?t
me anymore. They are in good shape, but I don't have anyone to hand them down
to. I would like to donate them to other students in our school who might need clothes.
I bet other kids in the school would like to do the same thing!" As a result, HPE accepted
donations from students and then the counselor privately redistributed the clothes. It was
a great time to do some spring cleaning and explain the concept of sharing with others.
WARM FUZZIES FOR OUR FURRY FRIENDS
They're never too young to start serving our community! After studying what
animals need in order to survive, Early Childhood Education Center 5
(ECEC) students decided to give back to Pets A-Lone Sanctuary. Students
made animal toys and brought in donations, such as dog food and cat litter.
The spirit of giving spread outside of school walls, too. Several ECEC parents and
students made dog and cat toys for our furry friends while at home during snow days.
A CAUSE THAT HITS HOME
Did you know the national average of students with juvenile diabetes is 1 in 500?
6 At Main Street Elementary the ratio is 5 to 535. MSE organized the ?rst
annual Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes in April and raised awareness about the
disease and more than $3,700 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN NGC
Ten years ago, Catherine Meyer Jeans, daughter of Lance & Jeanie Jeans,
passed away at the age of 5 from Leukemia. Had Catherine survived, 7
she would have been a student at the Ninth Grade Center last year. To
honor her memory, students walked one mile, hosted a balloon launch and
raised $450 for the Catherine Jeans’ Memorial Light the Night Fund.
