SMCC Giving Tree
The SMCC Giving Tree, sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa, is a community service project that provides gifts for children of SMCC students. This year, we are supporting four children.
The deadline to participate is rapidly approaching ~ Friday, December 14th.
Helping out is easy. Select an ornament from the tree in the Campus Center,
purchase the item, and then simply return the unwrapped gift and ornament to
the CeSIL office (Campus Center room 105)
Thank you for your generosity!

2012 Polar Express
Did you know there are only 9 days remaining to ride the
Polar Express?
It’s an enchanting
journey to the North Pole! The fun
begins at the Ocean Gateway Center in Portland, where guests meet the
Conductor, enjoy holiday treats, listing to a reading of the “Polar Express”
story, sing carols and greet Santa.
It’s
the largest annual fundraiser for the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Company and
Museum.
This year, a dedicated group of volunteers
from the Diet Technology Club have joined the Elves on board The Polar Express to help spread holiday cheer.

Seeking Mentors
Do you enjoy laughing and spending time with young
children?
Are you interested in making a difference in the lives of
K-4th graders?
Would you like to be involved in an innovative Early Grade
Reading program?
If this sounds appealing, then Congin Elementary is
looking for you!
We were contacted by an Americorps member regarding an opportunity to volunteer help promote early grade literacy at the Congin Elementary School in Westbrook.
From 1st-4th
grade, students learn to read. From 5th grade and beyond, students read to
learn. Early grade literacy is one of the most effective methods to predicating
life-long learning achievements. Come and join a team of dedicated educators
and volunteers committed to providing life-long educational success.\
Congin Elementary School, part of the Westbrook School
Department, is beginning an exciting and innovative project to promote Early
Grade Reading among Kindergarten thru 4th grade students. Volunteers are needed
to read to students and listen to students read to them. Volunteers will be
trained by school staff and classroom teachers to assure that all volunteers
feel comfortable and qualified to improve the Westbrook School District’s
school programming.
We ask that all volunteers be dependable, reliable, and
committed. All volunteers must agree to a criminal background check and have
good references. Volunteers must be willing to take directions from classroom
teachers and school staff, following school rules, and maintain
confidentiality.
Congin Elementary School is located on Bridge Street in
Westbrook, Maine. Opportunities are available Mon-Fri from 9:00-3pm. This would be an ideal position for students
looking for more experience in the educational field or to get some quality
community service hours.
If interested, please contact Georgia Harlow at harlowg@westbrookschools.org
