CACY Food Drive



CACY is a student group focused on improving the school and community, and making positive choicees. CACY stands for Community Action for Capable Youth. We have a great group of students this year who are passionate about making a difference! CACY sponsored an activity during lunch for Red Ribbon Week, and is about to kick off a food drive!

Starting Monday, November 16th, students can bring any non-perishable, not expired, items in to their 1st period class. For every 5 items a student donates, they will get a raffle ticket to enter their name in a drawing. In addition to the individual incentive, the classroom with the most food donated will win the grand prize.
All donations will go to Grace Episcopal Church in Mansfield. This is a wonderful organization that helps many families on a regular basis. Through generous donations and support, they are able to provide food to over 600 families on a single day! Their mission is simple: "To nourish our members and feed our neighbors." What a beautiful sentiment. This will be our 4th year supporting this amazing organization. Please help anyway you can, every little bit makes a difference!

Focus

Do you have trouble focusing? Here is a fun tip that ANYONE can use, at ANY TIME! All you need is a pen and 1 minute! Step 1: Find a pen or pencil. Step 2: Hold it up to your face, about 1 foot away. Step 3: Focus on the end of the pencil for 1 minute (setting a timer will help you to avoid being distracted). For this one minute of time, do not allow yourself to think about anything else! Just focus on the end of the pencil! This would be great to try before beginning your homework, studying, at the beginning of a big game or race, anytime! I would love to know what everyone thinks of this. I will be trying it also:) I challenge you to use this trick at least once this week! (It might be good to try this before or during the Math & Science testing:) One Minute Life Hack Will Make You Do Everything Better!
