World Kindness Day was Sunday November 13th and the Middle School celebrated in a unique way. The goal is to highlight good deeds in the community focusing on the positive power of kindness. Middle School health teacher Anthony Tussie organizes an event every year to get the whole school involved. He and the health department offer students in all grades an opportunity to create a mural by signing their name and writing a message of kindness. The mural will be on display throughout the school year. Art teacher Kristen Powell was kind enough to help paint and design the mural.

Island Harvest supports a wide network of community-based non-profit organizations, as well as individuals, veterans, families, and seniors directly who turn to us for support. Please consider helping us reach our goal of $1000. Your contributions will strengthen our community by helping others in need.

There's still time to make a donation here.

The HCT is updating its tutor referral database. When a request for a tutor is received, we will contact members on the list who meet the criteria. It is up to the individual teacher to make arrangements as to times, fees and location. We cycle through the lists to ensure that everyone will have an opportunity to tutor. Replies must be made within 48 hours so that we can respond to requests in a timely manner. Once we hear back from you, we will forward the parent's phone number and student information.

If you are interested in participating in our tutor referral program or would like to continue tutoring, please complete this short form.

School-related COVID questions should be directed to Gail Hunker.
