TODAY
is the last day Mr. Bell is collecting supplies that will be sent to aid a
European refugee camp of 18,000 people. These individuals will be facing
winter in harsh conditions and need our help. We are collecting winter clothes,
coats, pants, long underwear, blankets, children's diapers, and adult diapers.
One Vision International will be sending a large metal shipping container
at the end of October. Mr. Bell will be accepting donations in new or gently
used condition in Room 208.
Community & Guidance Ops:
· Need community service hours? Open Streets Knoxville is happening Sunday, Oct 25th from 1 - 4 p.m., and
we need a LOT of volunteers to make it a success. Volunteers will get a free Open
Streets Knoxville t-shirt. Go here to find out more http://openstreetsknoxville.com/ or here to sign up: https://www.volunteersignup.org/TJ9LE

Quote of the day from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe:
Whatever you
can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.
Have a great fall
break! Stay safe – see you on Wednesday!
