C.S.
Students Raise Money for Heifer International
|
Service
Learning
The Read for Feed Friday group, which ran from
September until November, successfully raised $600 to donate to
the Heifer International Foundation. The group of seven middle
school students (Celine A., Isaac A., Sarah B., Elise D., Olivia
G., Alex P. and Micah P.) set individual goals for the number of
books they wanted to read and independently collected donations
and sponsors. Together, the group read over 35 books and sent
their donations to Heifer International, which
provides sustainable items (including a variety of animals,
bees, trees, etc.) in an effort to help those in need support
themselves and to "pass on the gift." For more information,
please go to
www.heifer.org .

Weather-Related School Closing & Delay Information
Please note: C.S. does not
follow the other systems; we make our own decisions regarding
weather closings and delays. |
If there is any chance of a weather-related
school closing or delayed opening, please check one or more of
the following: WSLS-TV 10 and WDBJ-7 or WVTF (89.1), Q-99 FM and
K-92FM radio stations. Best bet for accurate, timely
information: call Community
School (563-5036) after 6:00 a.m. on the morning of a potential closing and listen to the voice mail
message or check the C.S. web page. Please recheck the listings
throughout the morning as our opening status occasionally
changes as weather conditions change. On days of a delayed
10:00 a.m. opening:
classes start at 10:00 a.m., and there is no Before School Care.
You may drop off your children beginning at 9:45 a.m. If weather requires an early school dismissal, we will
post it on our web page and on the TV and radio stations listed
above.
