Awesome Service Opportunity

For anyone who is interested:
St Andrews Elementary School is asking for tutors who could come in once or twice a week to help students in reading and math. They would like you to commit to coming regularly so that the kids can bond with you and therefore make their learning experience more enjoyable. The program will begin in January and starts at 3:15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  You will need your own transportation to the school, which is on 118th by the District.  If you are interested, come see Ms. Blattman so she can let the school know.

Christmastime is Coming. . .

Hey, all!
      Last meeting was a huge success, thanks to all who attended. We ended up splitting off into three different service groups. Some of us went and cleaned all of the lovely spiderwebs off of the main office windows; some distributed the new recylcling bins to every classroom; and the rest of us made Christmas cards and ornaments for all of the teachers in the school.

      Please remember to keep coming to all the meetings that you can. Every little bit helps!
      There is not an official meeting for December. Instead, we encourage you all to participate in the Hearts of Gold activities throughout the month. On December 14th, the officers will be distributing the Christmas cards and ornaments that we made last week to the teachers. If a couple of people want to come and help us, they are welcome, but we do not need 40 people passing out cards.
      Remember to be working on your total service hours for the year. You need a total of AT LEAST 8 hours, 4 with the group. This number is not a maximum, but a minimum. It is always good to do more than the lowest requirement.
      So, until December 14th! Remember to smile big :D
