Thanks to all parents who helped to chaperone our recent Outdoor Ed trip. Students came back with many great memories. We are currently writing ODE essays in English class.
The next task for our students as a team, will be Student Service Learning. The state of Maryland requires 75 hours of service to be completed as a graduation requirement. In Howard County, we offer opportunities to complete 25 hours in each grade of middle school, so this requirement is complete before high school starts.
The 6th graders will be working on a food drive and taking donations for the homeless shelter in Howard County. For a few years, we have been working closely with them to raise awareness of issues on a local level. Some students in Western Howard County are not aware of poverty in their county, so we work locally to help them see themselves in a bigger picture. Look for our efforts to begin in December.
