Room 102 Each month we go to Arts and Scraps which is a
non-profit organization that recycles industrial scraps into
creative materials. It also provides educational programming. It
serves 265,00 children and recycles 26 tons of materials annually.
Our group packs curriculum kits, prepares materials, and assembles scrap
packs.

| Room 103
We will be going to Arts and Scraps - a
non-profit organization that recycles industrial scraps into
creative materials - once a
month. Animal Care is raising money and
various items for M-Fran – a ferret rescue and WiggleButtz – a boxer
rescue. |

| Room 107 We go
to a 2nd
grade MCI room at Black Elementary School. There are 5-8 students
in the room. When we go, my class brings an art project and
the 2nd grade class gives us a snack. My students enjoy helping
the students create an art project. They also enjoy singing
"open shut them" for snack time. |
| 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 118 ***is
going to a Salvation Army thrift store for our community service. We
help maintain the appearance of the store by dusting, vacuuming,
picking –up fallen and broken merchandise, and straightening up
displayed items on the shelves. We also will help sort and display
the donated items. We are working with other volunteers who are
giving of their time to help the Salvation Army provide food and
clothing for the less fortunate. Some of the proceeds from the store
go to help support individuals who are in the process of recovering
from an addiction and are in need of housing.
|
Room 119 ***continues to take groups to
Shorehaven Assisted Living Facility to do crafts every Friday. The
students have developed some terrific relationships with the senior
citizens. The craft class grows when the students are there because
the seniors enjoy the students so much! We are also making blankets
for the Red Cross and other needy families throughout the school
year.
|
Room 120
will begin
volunteering on a monthly basis at a business called ARTS and
SCRAPS, located on Harper Avenue in Detroit. This is a new
opportunity for us and I am pleased that we have been selected to
have this experience. It can mimic a work experience in the real
world that the students will all have at a later date. Also, as
part of high school graduation requirements in some districts, a
community service project is mandatory. With the help of room staff,
the students in 120 will take directions from the business’
employees and complete assigned tasks. Part of our job will be to
receive industrial materials in bulk and re-package the materials
for distribution in smaller packages that are used in art projects.
The opportunity to get along with people from various walks of life
and with different backgrounds will be present as other groups will
also be volunteering at the same time. After we’ve had a few months
on the job, we will be able to update you more on our COMMUNITY
SERVICE PROJECT.
