| Room 101
is helping the Education Project for Homeless Students coordinated
by Kathy Kroft at the MISD. We are selling chocolate covered
pretzels to raise money to buy school supplies to help fill
backpacks for homeless students. |
|
Room 102 Our community service
for this year will be baking, decorating and selling cookies to
staff and students. We will have special bagel sales. Once the weather
gets nice we plan to sell ice cream treats. All the money we make
will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Room 103
We are going to Gleaner's to help with their
"Kids Helping Kids" program. We will be filling backpacks for students in
need. We will also be raising money for Leader Dogs for the Blind. |
|
Room 105
We are helping out at Lighthouse Mission Food
bank. We help package grocery items to be sold. We stuff envelopes,
and overall we learn the importance of being an active part of the
community. The opportunity to help out the less fortunate is an
important lesson that today's youth need to learn. The students of
105 will volunteer at lighthouse once a month during the school
year. |
| Room 107
Our class visits a classroom at Black Elementary at least once a
month. The students in Ms. Laura’s class are 4 to 6 years old and
have cognitive impairments. Students in room 107 help out the
younger students with an art project which usually focuses on the time
of year we are in. After the projects are finished and cleaned up
we sit down and share a snack. This is a great time to socialize
with the children and hopefully teach them positive social skills.

Room 110
attends
two community services monthly.
1) We help Nativity Church pack single family food bags.
Students fill bags for 41 individuals who qualify for food
donations each month. We also help restock the shelves as well
as sort donations. In addition, we help carry Focus Hope food
boxes from a van into the building. Students practice following
instructions, getting along with others and have an opportunity
to help others. After we finish at Nativity, we eat lunch at a
local fast food restaurant. Students again work on social
skills in a public setting.
2) We help the Warren Community Center by cleaning the
auditorium. We vacuum and sweep the floor. We wipe down all
chairs and door handles. Students have lunch together and then
enjoy using the community center's indoor pool.

| Rooms 119
and 120
The integration classrooms have made cards that were sent to the
troops for the holidays. In January the students will be starting a
new community service experience. Students will be going to “Hope
Center” in Fraser. Hope Center operates a program for families in
need. Families are able to shop for food and necessities at a
discount. Our students will be volunteering their time to help
stock the shelves for the food distribution. Hope Center is a
non-profit organization, which relies on the help of volunteers to
provide help to families. |

Room 122 Room 122 will be
assisting the staff at the Macomb Infant Pre-School Program (MIPP)
for community service for the 2010-2011 school year. MIPP is a
program of the MISD that provides a variety of educational
services to children with special needs who are birth to three
years old and their families. The students will be traveling to
the MIPP Millar site to help the staff with projects such as
preparation of art materials, assembling bulletin boards,
copying material and preparing folders for parent meetings, as
well as equipment and toy organization and sanitation This field
experience will allow the students to practice skills for
following directions, getting along with peers and community
members and employ positive team building relationships. |
