Hello,

Can you believe school starts in just 8 days?

Per H.G. Hill tradition, we would love to invite our partners to come and help us welcome all of our students back to school Tuesday morning next week, everyone's first day back. 

Being a part of the welcome team means cheering for students as they get off the bus, being a smiling face as they enter the building, and helping new students (6th graders and transfer students) find their classrooms and know where to go! Middle schoolers are full of emotions on the first day, and we want to be sure H.G. Hill is a welcoming place for everyone and that no one feels lost on Day 1. 

 If you (or a group from your organization) are able to support this initiative, your attendance will be needed from 8:15-9:15am on Tuesday, August 11th. Upon arrival, all volunteers will give their ID to the front desk staff so that they can use the Raptor Rapid Background Check system, then I will help assign people to different spots in front of the school and in the lobby to support as students arrive as early as 8:30am.

For additional questions, please contact Community Achieves Site Manager Kara (Ellis) Yeager at Kara.Ellis@mnps.org

Students at Two Rivers Middle School earn positive behavior points for making good choices every day. Students can redeem those points for snacks and prizes during lunch two times per month at the "Live School Store" where they exchange their points for snacks and prizes. You will serve one grade level of students at a time with a break between each grade for restocking and organizing. You'll have a Two Rivers staff person with you to support you.

Missing your dog back home? We've got the next best thing.

Being away at school often means being away from your four-legged best friend, too. If you're missing your daily walks, tail wags, and puppy cuddles, fostering a dog through Pawster is a meaningful way to fill that gap while helping a family in need.

Pawster provides everything you need, including training, supplies, veterinary care, and transportation. You provide the belly rubs, walks, treats, and a safe place to stay.

Fostering is flexible enough to fit a college schedule. There's no long-term commitment, and you can earn volunteer hours simply by opening your home to a dog who needs temporary care.

Sign up here

When you foster with Pawster, you're helping more than just a dog. Pawster specializes in Crisis Foster Care, which means your foster dog already has a loving owner who is temporarily unable to care for them. You'll give them a safe, caring home until they're ready to be reunited. While your information remains confidential, Pawster fosters often say the most rewarding moment is watching their foster dog return home to the family that loves them.

Whether you're missing your dog from home, looking for a reason to get outside between classes, or hoping to make a difference this semester, fostering is a rewarding way to help a pup, and the people who love them.

Sign up today! If you love dogs, you're already qualified to be a Pawster Foster.

**NOTE: Belmont, Fisk and Trevecca Universities, do NOT allow pets in on-campus housing. This opportunity is only available to students who live off-campus and whose landlords allow pets. All students should verify with their landlords that pets are allowed before signing up to foster.

Missing your cat back home? We've got the purrfect solution.

College is exciting, but being away from your pets isn't always easy. If you're missing your furry best friend, fostering a cat through Pawster is a great way to get your cat fix while making a real difference.

Pawster provides everything you need, including training, supplies, veterinary care, and transportation. You provide the love, attention, and cozy place to call home.

Fostering is also perfect for busy student schedules. There are no adoption fees or long-term commitment, and you can earn volunteer hours simply by giving a cat a safe, temporary home.

Project C.U.R.E. collects new, surplus and overstock medical supplies, sorts the items, and ships them to over 135 countries in Africa, South America, and nearly every nation in Central Asia.  We have even shipped supplies to some countries you may not expect like North Korea, Cuba, China, and Russia. Your good work here at home makes a huge impact miles away. 

Volunteers will sort supplies in Project C.U.R.E.'s warehouse.  No medical experience is needed, but if you want to become a medical professional this is a great place to familiarize yourself with the consumables and equipment you may eventually use.  There may occasionally be a need to move boxes weighing 20-25 pounds. All volunteers should wear closed toe shoes to this project. This is a great project for a group of friends, co-workers, civic or faith organization. There are opportunities Monday-Saturday.
