We are participating in Operation Christmas Child this year.  Our room is making and selling baked goods for the month of October to raise money to fill shoe boxes for children around the world through the organization Operation Christmas Child. We are working in conjunction with a classroom at Bovenschen School. In November, we will go shopping to purchase the items and wrap boxes.  Starting in December, we will again be baking and selling to help fill the food pantry for Solid ground, a housing shelter for homeless people in Macomb County.  This will continue for the remainder of the school year.

Room 102 Our community service for this year will be baking, decorating and selling cookies to staff and students. We will also sell homemade sugar sprinkled donuts. 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 Each month we go to Sunrise Assisted Living of Shelby, where we work with the residents, playing BINGO and socializing. We are also making Chocolate suckers to raise money for Leader Dogs, who will be here for an Assembly to help the entire school see how their donations are helping the organization.

Room 105 We go to Lighthouse which provides food and support to community members who are struggling to make ends meet. They collect food, clothing, toys, and household supplies from a variety of organizations and individuals. Students from 105 volunteer their time to go to the Center to sort and package donated items that will be distributed to individuals who come into the Center. Pastor Mel and Pastor Sandy and Mrs. Ruth have welcomed and rely on our students help and enthusiasm to accomplish their goals. Our students have learned that by helping others they in turn can help themselves.

Room 110  participates in two community service activities. Once a month students and staff go to Nativity Church and unload boxes of food from Focus Hope. These boxes are distributed to needy seniors. We also prepare food bags and help Fr. Singer with any other jobs he may have for us. We build teamwork and cooperation skills volunteering at Nativity and are able to further practice our skills by enjoying lunch at a local fast food restaurant.  A second opportunity for service to the community has been arranged with the Warren Community Center. We do light maintenance and setting up, after which students are allowed to enjoy an afternoon at the swim facility.

Room 120 will stay in Macomb County, in the city of Warren and in fact on Masonic Blvd.!!!The stretch of Masonic will be kept free of litter by the students of 120. Every week the staff and students will clear debris from Hoover to Schoenherr, during the personal adjustment period...about 30 minutes.  We did a trial run and begun cataloging the trash on an excel form. At the end of the year we will do a presentation as to what "America Throws Away."
