With the weather for Friday looking cool but sunny, we will continue with our leaf raking project on Veteran's Day morning. I am so proud of the students who are volunteering on a holiday morning to dedicate their time to our senior citizens by cleaning up their yards and helping them get ready for the winter. Earlier this morning, I had the chance to speak with each of the senior citizens who will have their yards raked tomorrow. They are so thankful for the support of our students!
As a reminder, we will plan to meet at Nipmuc at 9am tomorrow in the school lobby. From Nipmuc, our teams will head out to our community members' homes to rake their leaves. Parents are encouraged to come into the school in the morning so they can get the address and directions to the home in order to pick up the students at the end of the project. We are hopeful that each yard will take no more than 60 - 90 minutes with everyone providing help.
If parents would like for their students to get rides with another adult or other students, they should be sure to have the student complete a transportation waiver. The waiver is included below and will be available in the school lobby tomorrow morning. I have also attached the informational sheet that was handed out to students yesterday afternoon.
Since our soccer teams will be competing in the afternoon in district semi-finals, we know that those players will not be able to participate in leaf raking. We are especially thankful for everyone else who will be able to lend a hand on Friday.
Anyone who would like to help out but who did not have a chance to sign up can feel free to arrive on Friday morning at 9am. Students and parents are welcome.
Thank you for your support of our community!
