11th Grade Community Service Project
The 11th Grade Parent Reps are excited to announce this year's community service project for the 11th grade students. Please mark your calendars for Sunday, January 23, 2011, as the 11th grade students (and family and friends) will be serving food, giving away gently used warm weather clothing, and handing out toiletry kits to the homeless, from 8:30am to 12:00pm at the Martin Luther King Public Library, located at 901 G Street, N.W. All of the food will be prepared by the students in their own homes (with a little help from mom or dad?). In addition, all of the items to be included in the toiletry kits will also be donated and assembled by the students (and any family or friends who wish to contribute). This is a tremendous opportunity for the students to participate in a community service project in a very real and tactile way, and perhaps more fully appreciate what being homeless really means. The 11th Grade Parent Reps will be sending out more information to the 11th grade parents in the coming weeks.

US Holiday Gift Giving 2010 comes to an end.....

A great, big THANK-YOU to everyone who participated in this year's US Holiday Gift Giving. Through the generosity and efforts of the Faculty, Students and Parents, our gift Drive delivered three carloads full of gifts to our partner recipients. In coming together for this service, we are sharing and spreading the holiday spirit to those in need in our wider community. A special thank-you to the Library Staff for allowing us to use their festive Holiday Tree as the collection point for the gifts.

With best holiday wishes,
David Connell, Director of Community Service, US
June Das Gupta, PA US CS
