What’s going on?

This past November Student

Council hosted a leadership

conference. Club leaders and

members of the high school attended

and thought of ideas to make our

school community more spirited and

aware of what is going on with

everyone.

In response, Student Council made

their mission to put out this

newsletter in order to do so. In thisletter you will find up to date

information on clubs and other

organizations within the school.

If you have any interest in adding

information about your club to this

newsletter or have any question feel

free to see Ms. Jolicoeur in 110 or

email

Where: The Abundant Table Club meets on

Thursdays right after school in room 101.

Who: Ms. Walker is our club advisor and

Rachel Rosenblatt is the club president.

Why: The objective of the Abundant Table

Club is to help out at the Abundant Table

soup kitchen in Norwood, MA. When we go

to the soup kitchen we cook the food and serve

the patrons. Abundant Table is run in a

restaurant-fashion, and we have found that it

is a lot more comfortable for those that attend

to serve this way. Also, with the economy the

way it is, there are more people at Abundant

Table every week.

Mission: We are hoping for the club to have

our first fundraiser soon. A "Walk For

Abundant Table" is in the midst of being

planned and will hopefully take place in the

spring of 2012.
