This morning while the 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th grades took the PSATs, the 6th and 7th grades performed service at two Lutheran Mission Compassion Place locations and at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Baltimore. Students organized and cleaned donations of household items and clothes that will be donated to those in need in the Baltimore area.
Thank you to all who donated to the "The Haven" fall food drive. Over $600 was collected and 700 food items donated. Last Thursday, the freshmen class helped load the donations and members of NewThing (Joan Scherch, Brian, and Jennifer Burnette, who are also CPS parents) delivered them to Loch Raven.

LEGO Donations
The Middle School LEGO Club Needs Your Help: We’ve all had LEGOS as children – we’ve collected them, built them, and even broken them down. And now they are probably sitting in your room in a box not being used and collecting dust. If this is the case, the LEGO Club is asking you to donate them. The LEGO Club needs any and all old, used, forgotten-about LEGOS. The LEGO club isn't a club without LEGOS. So LE–GO and bring in your old LEGOS! Donations can be delivered to Mr. Berger's office in the Upper School.
