__SIGN UP FOR THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DAY OF SERVICE __
On Monday, January 16, 2012 Wilmington Friends School will celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by offering opportunities for students to serve in their communities that morning. The day will begin with a brief meeting for worship followed by planned service activities. Service activities will be organized by grade level and involve projects at the lower school campus as well as off campus sites. Listed below are brief descriptions of the activities that will be taking place along with the number of volunteers needed by grade level. More detailed information will follow prior to the holiday break.

__**Seventh Grade (25 volunteers)**__ Seventh graders will prepare Meal-to-Go Kits for the Ronald McDonald House on the lower school campus. Since many families at the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children are there for a long time, the costs of cafeteria and vending machine food can be overwhelming. Students at Friends will help prepare Meal-to-Go Kits to help families in need by preparing meals that are healthy, convenient and non-perishable.

For the __sixth and seventh grade projects__, while we are mainly seeking student volunteers to help us implement these activities, we are also looking for __parent volunteers__ to help with general supervision, baking as it applies to the 6thgrade project (and participation in the eighth grade projects). To sign up for this morning of service (student and/or parent), please respond to ccharriez@wilmingtonfriends.org. Please indicate the following in your RSVP so that we may make the appropriate space arrangements: 1. Name(s) of volunteers 2. Grade level 3. Specific project if more than one is offered

Sixth and seventh grade volunteers will be taken on a first come first served basis. If all volunteer opportunities have been filled by the time an RSVP is made, we encourage those still interested in helping by making a donation that will assist the projects taking place here on campus. More information about specific donations will be sent prior to the holiday break. __The deadline for sign-ups is Friday, January 6.__
