1 5 m a r c h 2 0 2 1 Happy St. Patrick's Day! March will start o f f e q u a l l y e x c i t i n g a s w e c e l e b r a t e t h e b i r t h d a y o f T h e o d o r Geisel. In addition to having class celebrations based around authors and books during Read Across America Week, we will enjoy contests, decorating and read alouds! ClintonTownship Middle School Student Ambassadors: In November of 2020, the Ambassadors initiated a food drive that was expanded to include the 7th grade and extended through December. Together, they were able to donate approximately 100 pounds of food to the Open Cupboard in Clinton. They were SO thankful and we all learned something new. Although it is easiest to ask for canned goods during collections, the Food Pantry is always short on spices, salt, pepper, sugar, flour, and coffee. "Caring and Kindness" was February's theme for the Student Ambassadors. At their last meeting, students decided to focus their efforts on Suicide Prevention Awarness through supporting The Peyton Heart Project (www. ThePeytonHeartProject.org). Ambassadors made Peyton Hearts; each one was made by hand and represents the delicate heart of a life lost to suicide. These hearts each have inspiring quotes, information about The Peyton Heart Project, and resource websites attached to them. Some of the finished hearts will be distributed around CTMS and others will be placed throughout our community. Ambassadors will choose where to place them... around town, in a mailbox, tied to a fence, left on a bench, placed in a tree…they will be creative! The hope is that finding the hearts will cause people to stop for a moment and reflect on a life lost and the fact that everyone's life matters, and also leave them with a feeling that there is still hope and good out there in the world. The Student Ambassadors continue to challenge themselves to have a positive impact on our community. If you have a topic or organization that you would like to share to be considered for future support, please reach out to Mrs. Kerry Mueller (kmueller@ctsdnj.org) or Mr. Greg James (gjames@ ctsdnj.org).
