The Central Cambria National Honor Society and the Interact Club are coordinating a district-wide Homeless Awareness Week October 28 – November 1. Students become homeless for many reasons, including fire, domestic violence, and loss of income for the family. All students received the attached flyer and may bring in items to help support the students in our schools and in our area that are homeless. On November 1, we are asking everyone in the district to wear a Blue Shirt to school to show CC’s support for our friends in need. Thank you for your support and generosity!
October 28-November 1, 2013
To Central Cambria Parents and
Students:
Did you know
now that the average age of a homeless person is nine years old? Many students become homeless for various reasons; fire,
flood, domestic violence, or loss of income for the family. Students are homeless by living in shelters,
cars, campers/tents and even living with family or friends due to lack of
housing.
The
Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness Program in
Pennsylvania is a state funded organization which provides support to our
children that become homeless. If you
would like to help your fellow classmates, and many others that are
experiencing homelessness, you can bring in items (which are listed on the back
of this page) during the week of October 28- November 1, 2013. On November 1, to show our support to our
friends in need, we are asking everyone to wear a Blue Shirt to school that day.
Thank you for your support!!
The Central Cambria National Honor
Society and Interact Club.
