4th Annual "Lock-In-A-Box"
The Community Service and Volunteerism/Leo's Club (CS&V) is holding their fourth annual Lock-In-A-Box on Friday, May 29th to Saturday, May 30th, 2009. The activity involves students and teachers sleeping in boxes for a night, raising money and awareness about what it's like to be homeless. During the Lock-In students will travel the streets of the Village of Angola collecting returnable cans and bottles to raise money for the local food pantry called Operation Good Neighbor and Friends of the Village. Students will dance to earn their meals, participate in team building activities and watch a movie about making the best of your life. The activity centers around the idea to see how precious life can be and to help other people whenever you can.You can help others too! Please begin to collect returnable cans and bottles. Students will be in the Village collecting them on May 29th between the hours of 6:30pm and 8:30pm. If you do not live in the Village, you can also help by dropping off your cans and bottles at the Middle School loading dock (located behind the school) on May 29th between 6 and 9pm. Any help you can give is very much appreciated. If you have any questions or would like to help in any way, please call the Lake Shore Middle School office at 926-2400.
