On Sunday, December 16, a group of sophomores put aside their studying to prepare holiday dinners for ten families from Eastway Elementary School. The Wittman, Peterson, Coleman and Spatola advisories have been visiting Eastway for their Community Service, and have been extremely impressed with the students and faculty at the school.
The project was not restricted to these four advisories and many other students from the sophomore class donated their time and their cooking ability to make this project a success. The administration and families at Eastway were very appreciative and it was truly heart-warming to see our students commit their time and their energy to come in on a Sunday for this very worthwhile project. ----
Monika Lind (DA '03), "recent USC graduate and Hollywood hopeful," wrote this week to share news of a project called "Band Together: To Fight Measles:" "My friend Mat works for the American Red Cross and compiled a benefit CD to sell on iTunes. He invited me to be a part of it, and I was thrilled. My song is called "Better Angels" – I wrote it and sing it, my brother Jason plays the guitar, and my favorite film composer Dave Stanton arranged it. So please please please check it out on iTunes! Just search "Monika Lind" or "Better Angels" or "Band Together: To Fight Measles." It's for a great cause (the American Red Cross Measles Initiative), and I would really appreciate your support! Just 99 cents!
