Community Service Club Dedicated to making a difference! Your help is needed!!

We will be holding monthly competitions between classes and would greatly appreciate your help. These competitions will be during 1st period and against all other 1st period classes.

For the month of October we will be collecting manufacturer coupons from each class for our Make a Difference Day Project.

Please encourage your students to bring manufacturer coupons. Each Friday a club member will collect them from each teacher during lunch and total them.

These coupons will go toward our Overseas Coupon Program (OCP). We have adopted the U.S. military base in Okinawa, Japan and send these coupons for their use.

For the month of November we will be collecting canned/packaged non-perishable foods for the No Senior Goes Hungry Program. We will be collecting food from Nov. 1 to Nov. 17. Club members will collect the food each Friday from each teacher during lunch and total the amount collected. We will bring cupcakes to the winning class on Nov. 18.

For the month of December we will be collecting coloring books with crayons and reading books for young children. We will be donating them to low income children for Christmas.

We will be holding a school rummage sale in January and will collect any items anyone would like to donate up to this event. Please help us pass the word and start collecting items so we can have a huge collection of items to help us raise fund for our Cards for a Cause Project and our Locks of Love Project.
