To increase our students' interest in language arts, we put on a short story contest for all grades to participate in. The students creatively wrote their own story, and had the optional prompt of coming up with their own winter holiday and creating a backstory to that holiday. The winners received their own quality journals and pens to continue their writing process!

Here at Cassidy we're huge fans of teambuilding! On our team day we started off with a breakfast potluck (I heard Eddie's tofu scramble was 🔥🔥🔥). After breakfast we made some gingerbread houses and some students were nice enough to be the judges! After we played some teambuilding games, we all went to Center City and did an excavation themed escape room. Unfortunately, we didn't make it out in time, but it wasn't about the destination it was about the journey!

Our team has started out with some great wall installations, we also plan on making a video containing interviews with students and teachers talking about their black history heroes and what black history month means to them. This video will be shared at an assembly at the end of the month where we plan to host members of different fraternities and sororities to speak about their experiences and the importance of community and service.

We collected canned food from the Cassidy Staff for families and partnered with our school's STEP team to deliver them to families in our school.  We received so many donations that we decided to roll it over into the winter holidays, and because it was such a hit, we established it as permanent non-perishable food shelf for the families in our school community.

We were received a donation of over 500 water bottles for our students and teachers because water fountains have been turned off due to Covid.  We distributed them to all students, teachers, and staff to ensure a hydrated community!
