Local Hero
Award Ceremony
Since
2002, Community School has sponsored the Local Hero Award in
honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. We solicit nominations from
all over the Roanoke Valley in search of individuals whose
efforts in the community have exemplified those of Martin Luther
King, Jr., and have made a positive difference in the lives of
many. This year, we have added a twist. Our call for nominations
was targeted toward young people in the Roanoke Valley who stand
as role models for other young people. Three young people will
be receiving the awards this year. Our middle school students
create the awards and lead the ceremony recognizing the
recipients. This year’s ceremony will be held on Friday, January
18, at 1:00 p.m. in Talmadge Recital Hall on the campus of
Hollins University. Most of our students will attend the
ceremony, and we invite all parents to attend as well.
Students will be dismissed from the Community School campus at
3:15 p.m. on January 18. Our After School Program will operate
on a regular schedule, as well

School Email
Address Discontinued
|
Due to
the overwhelming amount of spam, we have
closed the account for the main C.S. email address
(learn@communityschool.net). You can still reach C.S. faculty
and staff members through their individual email addresses. You
can find these addresses on the school website (http://www.communityschool.net/teacherpages.htm).

History Kids
Receive Golden Wing Award
 |
Service Learning
The History Kids (Betsy’s and Kim’s upper
elementary classes) recently received the Golden Wing award from
the Soldier’s Angels organization for contributions in support
of our military personnel. The History Kids collected and mailed
supplies for a holiday event to the Virginia National Guard
members stationed in Kuwait and Iraq. The students have also
sent numerous cards and emails to troops serving overseas.

Sibling Applications
for Fall 2008
Call now if you are interested
in a new sibling enrollment for next fall. |
We invite any siblings of current C.S. students
who are considering joining our school next year to submit an
application now. Siblings of current students have priority for
available spaces, but we need to know how many siblings are
interested in order to reserve those spaces. Please call
Victoria to discuss sibling applications and to arrange a
student visit. Re-enrollment information for current students
will be sent home in mid March.

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.
