Thanksgiving Meal Baskets
St. Joseph the Worker Catholic Church is extending an offer to any of our Cedar Island families who might benefit from a little extra support this season. Once again, they are putting together Thanksgiving Meal Baskets for families in need. Each basket includes the fixings for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner along with some additional pantry staples to help fill their shelves. This ministry is one small way their parish community seeks to share with their neighbors.
If there is a family who would appreciate this gift, please call 763-425-6505 ext. 115 and leave a voicemail. They will coordinate the details with families directly.
Baskets will be distributed on Saturday, November 21st between 9-10:00am. Families will be asked to pick up their basket from the church during that time frame.
This Month In The CI Media Center
September was all about building the routines that will help our Bobcats become responsible digital citizens, independent library users, and confident readers. After our technology-readiness work, students learned how to care for their school devices, reviewed district digital expectations, and began checking out books right away.
We will finish the month by launching our Reading Flight as classes build independent reading stamina.
Ask your Bobcat: What book did you choose from the library, and why did you choose it?
We have an exciting year ahead filled with books, research, coding, robotics, makerspace challenges, Dinovember, poetry, and more!
School Based Therapy Available
Veemah Integrated Wellness and Consulting Services will be providing therapeutic supports on site again this year.
If you are interested in your child receiving this service, please reach out to our social worker, Jennifer Taylor at taylorj2@district279.org or 763-450-8122.
