Hello Colt Families,
The time of year to give thanks and help those in need is upon us. The middle school has many upcoming opportunities to show our support and generosity to those in need. The NJHS and Peer Helpers are both hosting charitable drives and we truly thank all of the CVMS families for any support that you can provide.
T-Shirt Drive for National Junior Honor Society, Nov. 15- Dec. 22
The National Junior Honor Society is hosting a T-Shirt drive to benefit ZipWithUs, a charity that makes and donates custom port-access ZipShirts to pediatric hospitals & cancer patients nationwide. A Zip With Us shirt enables a child to keep his/her clothing on during the painful process of port device accessing during chemo, infusions and blood draws. This simple design maintains dignity, provides a sense of security and makes hospitals less scary.
We are collecting brand new T-shirts: sizes 2T-Adult XL that can be dropped off in the middle school office. Themes of dinosaurs, Disney characters, video games, princesses, trucks/cars, animals and super heroes are some of the most loved.
Peer Helper Food Drive
The 8th Grade Peer Helpers are holding the 1st Annual ThanksforGiving Food Drive for a local Meals on Wheels in our community. Starting on Wednesday, November 17th through Tuesday, November 23rd, students can bring donations to school and take them to their homeroom to be counted for our food drive. Let’s see which grade and homeroom can bring in the most items! Please only donate non-perishable items. Canned goods, cereals, cake/pancake mixes, cereal bars, coffee, tea, juice boxes, instant potatoes, boxed stuffing and rice are all perfect options.
Have a great week!
