Students at Westwood Middle School in Manchester are going through a program to help their community. The student body is divided into what is called “Houses”. The “Houses” are evenly divided between 6th, 7th and 8th graders. The houses are all named after different rockets: Falcon, Saturn, Atlas, and Delta. Not only do the houses compete for points (attendance, conduct, spirit demonstrated at pep rallies, and specific contests), they also adopt charities and find ways to help those agencies. Teacher Karen Lewis said, “We do not award house points for charity work; we work for others simply because it’s the right thing to do.”
Recently Rob Clutter who is on the board of the Coffee County Children’s Advocacy Center spoke to students from the “Delta House”. After hearing from Clutter the students went to work gathering snacks and drinks for the center. This week the students gave their donation to the center to be used by children who use the facility.
