| Room 101
Room 101 is helping the Education Project for Homeless Students
coordinated by Kathy Kroft at the MISD. We are selling chocolate
covered pretzels to raise money to buy school supplies to help fill
backpacks for homeless students. We are having a school wide "Sock
Drive" to help with the need for socks for the homeless students. We
are also having a "Hat, Glove, and Scarf Drive" to provide for these
students in need. Later in the year, we will have a "New and Gently
Used Book Drive", as well as a "Bottle Drive" to help raise more
funds for school supplies. |

Room 102 Our community service for this year
will be baking, decorating and selling cookies to staff and
students. We will also sell homemade sugar sprinkled donuts. Once
the weather gets nice we plan to sell ice cream treats. All the
money we make will be donated to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
|
|
Room 103
will go to the Salvation Army in Sterling
Heights, one time a month, to help sort through donations people
have given, in an effort to raise money for others. We also, in
conjunction with Room 105, raise money for Leader Dogs for the Blind
with chocolate sucker sales. We will have an Assembly at the end
of the school year to present the money to Leader Dogs for the
Blind. |
|
Room 105
Here at Rockwell we encourage students to
participate in a community service once a month to provide an
experience in a real world work place. Room 105 is teaming up with
room 103 and will be making Bow Wow Suckers to support Leader Dogs
for the Blind. The students will learn how fund raising for a
charity aids in the functioning of the organization and the personal
benefits from helping others. |
|
| Room 107
goes to an early
elementary MCI room at Black Elementary School. There are 9-12
students in Ms. Nancy Sefcovic's
class. Usually my
class brings an art project and their class
gives us a snack. Other things that we do with students are:
going for walks; playing with bubbles that fit around us; helping
students at a restaurant; and attending
special field-trips. My
students enjoy helping and
interacting with the students.
It is always fun to see a lively game of charades or some karaoke
going on in Ms. Nancy's class.

Room 110
attends
two community services monthly.
1) We help Nativity Church pack single family food bags.
Students fill bags for 41 individuals who qualify for food
donations each month. We also help restock the shelves as well
as sort donations. In addition, we help carry Focus Hope food
boxes from a van into the building. Students practice following
instructions, getting along with others and have an opportunity
to help others. After we finish at Nativity, we eat lunch at a
local fast food restaurant. Students again work on social
skills in a public setting.
2) We help the Warren Community Center by cleaning the
auditorium. We vacuum and sweep the floor. We wipe down all
chairs and door handles. Students have lunch together and then
enjoy using the community center's indoor pool.

| Rooms 118
and 119
are excited to be pairing up with
the students and staff of Wilde Elementary’s A.I. program. We
will be working with the students of Mary Sniezek’s classroom to
aid them in classroom projects/peer tutoring as well as within
the community at their various CBI locations. It is our goal to
help our Rockwell students understand the disorder of Autism and
how its effect on people is very individual and unique. We
would also like to show the students the benefit of helping out
within their own communities and the self-fulfillment that it
can bring. We are looking forward to learning from and with the
students of Wilde as well as being able to share our knowledge
and assistance with them. |

Room 120 will stay in Macomb
County, in the city of Warren and in fact on Masonic Blvd.!!!The
stretch of Masonic will be kept free of litter by the students of
120. Every week the staff and students will clear debris from Hoover
to Schoenherr, during the personal adjustment period...about 30
minutes. We did a
trial run and begun cataloging the trash on an excel form. At the end of the
year we will do a presentation as to what "America Throws
Away."

|
Room 122 will
be attending Lighthouse Outreach Center in Roseville, Mi. for
community service once a month for the 2009-2010 school
year. This community service will provide an experience in a
real work place. Our students will assist in putting together
packages for senior citizens and single parents. This field
experience will allow the students to practice skills for
following directions, getting along with peers and community
members and employ positive team building relationships, while
helping the less fortunate. We are excited about strengthening
our social skills while working in the community. |
