Community Service Learning (CSL) has been an
integral part of the Problem Solving Through Literature Program (PSTL)
for 18 years. CSL provides students with opportunities to use skills and
knowledge acquired in the classroom to meet needs in their community, be
it school, town, state, or world. Students gain skills in communication,
problem solving, and social responsibility while learning to work with
younger students, their peers, and adults in the wider community. This
year 7th and 8th grade Teacher Advisory classes have begun to explore
CSL as well as PSTL students. On Thursday, June 10th there will be a
reception to display and hear about a wide array of student CSL
projects. This event will take place in the gym from 6:30 – 8:00 pm.

Attention Grade 4-6 families!
Our PSTL CSL group is holding a
walk-a-thon to raise money for a project called
Pennies for Peace. Pennies for Peace is a charity that
builds schools for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It
will be held on Saturday May 22nd (the morning of the
Family Fun Day). There will be a 9:45 check-in and we will
start at 10:00. Check in will be at the bike path entrance
closest to the school building.
Watch for posters around school
to sign up and grab a pledge form. For more information on
Pennies for Peace, you can go to

Attention Parents!!!!
How many of you have found a
penny and thought it was lucky? Well, it is not just lucky;
it can actually change a life!
Sixth grade CSL students are in
need of your help!
Jordyn Binaghi, Kate
Paterson, Winter Morse, Keenan Child and Caitlyn Wilkin
are collecting money for Greg Mortinson’s program Pennies
for Peace, which helps children in Pakistan and Afghanistan
acquire new schools.
We have asked that all students
in K-4 classrooms bring in pennies or extra spare change
between April 12th and 30th.
If you wish to make a larger
donation, please send it directly to Mrs. Revell Allen
(checks payable to Revell Allen). Thank you in advance for
supporting this wonderful cause! |
