Gift of Giving

​Lyme-Old Lyme High School is a  community of learners committed to creating contributing citizens.  To that end, On Friday, November 18, students kicked off the holiday season with an Advisory on the Gift of Giving. ​ After watching the above video, Advisors facilitated conversations about how we can give. Together with their advisees, they crafted an action plan for the upcoming holiday season that embraces the “Gift of Giving.”  Here are just some of the plans that students embraced:

• Raise money to contribute to Heifer International
• Create holiday cards for Veterans and visit with them
• Buy donuts for another Homeroom Advisory
• Collect coats for the winter clothing drive
• Purchase children's books for the library holiday wreath in a neighboring town
• Select a berry off our NHS wreath for our community
• Spend a Saturday morning at a local soup kitchen
• Facilitate a school wide Food Drive
• Collect clothes for the Women's Shelter

So many fantastic plans!  We are truly a community of contributing citizens with BIG hearts!
