Community Service

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 classUsually 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.
