Reminders

On Tuesday November 24, MaLia, a student from our High School, will be in our class to do a Thanksgiving project with our students at 3:00. As a part of our project, she is collecting $2.00 donations for her non-profit organization, Next Generation Community Organizers. Please contribute what you can to help her cause.

Here is a bit she wrote about the event. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hello, my name is MaLia Gaddy, I am a 12th grade student at University Preparatory High School. I am a current volunteer with Next Generation Community Organizers, a non-profit organization that promotes literacy in under served communities. We are currently raising funds to purchase a library on wheels to travel the Detroit area and give under privileged youth access to reading materials and literacy building workshops. For only $2, your child will support the effort of improving literacy in Detroit and surrounding areas while engaging in fun Thanksgiving activities such as making turkeys from apples, and creating their very own Native American Headdress. Please submit the $2 to your child’s teacher. Can’t wait to see your child there!

Tuesday is also a $1.00 for free dress and hat day.
