2009-2010 School Year




Second week of school and already we have jumped right in on getting projects done! Our first activity was to create more "wooden kids" to display at school with signs to remind others: not to idle while waiting in line, keep the speed limit to 5 mph, and no talking on cell phones while driving in the parking lot. Photos to follow.
The Homework Club is partnering with the United Way to support their effort during the Day of Caring which is a drive to collect school supplies to donate to needy families in the Park City area. These families will be identified by the Holy Cross Ministries.
And last, the HW Club is sponsoring an assembly for the entire 5th grade at Jeremy Ranch. The 5th graders are studying American History with a focus on Ellis Island and immigration. Members of The Lost Boys of Sudan - college age men based out of Salt Lake City supported by the Chier Foundation - will come speak to the children about their experiences coming to a new country. We are very excited to supplement the curriculum with real life stories and hope this will make a lasting impression on both the children and their parents.
Tune in to see what else we are up to!
