You can be the difference!
Basic #1
We are pleased to announce that there are currently 20 students at Campu
Community who are seeing a mentor at least once a week. Mentors supply thesupportive, caring, one-to-one adult interaction that many children need to thrive
The mentoring relationship may support the mentees academic or social growthand development.
We are looking for adults, especially males, who are able to comm
to 30 minutes to an hour, once a weekfor the remainder of the schoolyear. Through our partnership with Connecting Generations, there is no charge f
the training, background screenings or preliminary interviews required to
volunteer to be a mentor. The positive impact on both the mentor and the
mentee is beyond measure.
Contact Gail Garner at 302-736-0403 ext 108 for more information and to
complete an application. If you wish to get an electronic copy of the application,

Student Spotlight
Grace KennedyGrace KennedyGrace has been a student at Campus Community School since eighth grade. Her
parents were so pleased with her brothers experience at CCS that they wantedGrace to attend as well. She says, Its cool.
If she were able to give one piece of advice to her 8th grade self, Grace wouldsay, It doesnt matter what other people think. If they dont want to be your
friends then, oh well, get over it. This is in perfect alignment to her personal
motto, It doesnt matter what people think, stick with those who support your
efforts.
Grace plans to attend the University of Delaware to major in Athletic Training.
She gained experience this year as an intern with the athletic department atWesley College. She shines in both academics and leadership. Currently
serving as class president, Grace has also been SGA Secretary, served on the
Mock Trial Team, and is a member of the Odyssey of the Mind Team this year.Her skills have been recognized in a Coachs Award for soccer and a DCAS

Christa Cooper & Sky Phillips
of the WDSD Morning Crew
visit with a Delaware Friend.
Crazy, quirky, curious, sometimes silly, sometimes ditzythat would be Christ
Cooper from the WDSD Morning Crew. Her side kick, Leah Rizzo is the quiete
of the two, but you know what they say about the quiet ones. Their antics are th
source of a wise and well-informed chuckle from news anchor Phil Feliceangel
The sum total of this mayhem, and the task of keeping everyone in line falls to
Sky Phillips, who often fails wonderfully at keeping everyone on task and
focused, much to the enjoyment of their listeners.
As a community partner, there is no finer group of people. They are committed t
giving back to the community; total involvement in many projects to improve an
provide for the needs of Delaware residents. Without hesitation, they have worke
with the Food Bank of Delaware on an annual basis to provide meals for those ineed. They joined with, and expanded Operation Christmas Wish to include
hundreds of children and their families. One thing that you will notice with the
Morning Crew is the amount of joy and caring they have for their listeners.... Sk
is known for doing last minute partnerships that explode in positive ways. He
believes that the microphone was put in his hand for a reason and it was to mak
others aware of what's really going on!

Semester of Service
Campus Community School staff and students are about to embark on a journey service together. Our Semester of Service begins on Martin Luther King Day,
January 21, and concludes on Earth Day, April 22. This will be an exciting tim
for all students as we will be beta testing the new academic curriculum created fthe Food Bank of Delaware by students at Wesley College. Students will be
involved in a series of 5 focused, themed food drives during this time. Each driv
will be preceded by an instructional component consisting of a minimum of 2lessons. The goal is to make a food drive more than an opportunity to clean out t
cupboard. Students and families will be asked to make thoughtful contributions
and Feed them as you would your own.
Grades K-1, Grades 2-3, Grades 4-5, and Grades 6-8 will each look at the conce
of hunger from a different perspective, and then sponsor a themed food drive
based on that perspective.
Look for more details on each food drive as soon as they are scheduled.
The fifth food drive is a Dover Community-wide event involving CCS, WesleyCollege, Delaware State University, the Downtown Dover Partnership, the WDS
Morning Crew, and the Food Bank of Delaware. In addition to a neighborhood
food collection, the food Bank will be setting up a remote distribution site, andWDSD will be broadcasting live from CCS.
