LUNCHROOM REMINDERS
Students, you should only enter the food court if you are planning to purchase something during lunch. If your friend is planning to purchase food, but you aren’t, you can meet your friend when they leave the food court area. This will help to reduce crowd sizes. We also ask that students wait until they have paid for their food items before they unwrap, open, or begin eating them. Thank you for helping to keep our lunch room organized and safe!
HOPE TO WALK
Did you know...
There are 35 million amputees and disabled people worldwide who need prosthetic devices but do not have access to them?
Traditional prosthetic legs cost between $10,000-$25,000 -- an unattainable price for someone making $3 per day
8th graders in Healthy & Active Lifestyles are participating in a 5K to raise awareness for Hope to Walk. Hope to Walk is a non-profit organization that helps the impoverished people of the world. Millions of amputees worldwide depend on wheelchairs and crutches. Some are even forced to crawl simply because they cannot afford prosthetics. Please consider donating. See the signs around school or get the link in the announcements for more details and to make a donation.
Last year, we raised over $500 and were able to provide 2 prosthetic legs! The recipients were Francisco (age 62) and Mercedes del Carmen (age 64) both from Honduras. Please consider donating!
