helping Families during the holidays

As the winter and the holiday season approaches, the staff at Reuther Middle School is interested in gathering information from our school community regarding need for support. Each year our school is approached by outside organizations who want to provide different opportunities for supporting our community. We are hoping that we will be able to partner with some of these organizations again this year.  In the event we are given the opportunity to help, we are gathering information from families in advance so that we can more easily pair a family in need with perspective resources.  ​

​If you are interested in sharing a need for support, please complete the form at this link:  Reuther Family Need Survey

GAP Program 

​Students may receive a total of five (5) points by the end of the 3rd marking period for community service. In order to receive five points, a student must accumulate 15 hours of community service. Signatures are required to verify your participation as well as a parent signature.
 
    Community service is helpful work you do for members of your community or the community at large.
  • You should NOT be paid for this work.
  • You must do the work under the supervision of, or with the approval, an adult. That adult should sign your form when you finish.
  • Work done with a scout troop, church group, or other organization may count.
 
EXAMPLES:
  • Rake leaves for an elderly neighbor.
  • Clean up a local park.
  • Help at a local soup kitchen.
  • Baby sit (unpaid) at your church so adults can attend a service or meeting.
 
MAKE CERTAIN your parents know what you are planning to do BEFORE you do it.
 
You may work on this goal all during the first three card marking periods.

Mindfulness journal for students, parents & staff!

Picture



​Mrs. Mainero created a 30 day mindfulness journal for students, parents, and staff in our community. It is a quick 3-minute journaling page to focus on the good in the morning and then reflect on the day in the evening. It is an editable PDF you can download. It can be printed or filled out on a computer and saved each day.  We hope it can give some structure to focus on something good during this challenging and traumatic time.
