NHS tours the Syracuse Rescue Mission:
On Friday (11/7) the Fabius Chapter of the National Honor Society took a field trip to the Syracuse Rescue Mission. The students took a tour of the Rescue Mission's large campus and also volunteered for the day. After learning about the major causes of homelessness and what the Rescue Mission is doing to try to combat it, the NHS students broke up into two groups. One group prepared and served lunch to over one hundred Rescue Mission guests, while the other group served in the Clothing Outreach department, organizing clothes and working in customer service. The trip was a success both in terms of the assistance that the students provided to members of the Syracuse community as well as the impact it had on their own lives.

Develop an emergency plan and teach your children your emergency plan in case you are not home before the bus comes to pick them up. If a bus is delayed, they need to know where, when, and how to get help if they think ...
