Cougar Holiday Cheer Drive

The Cal Young Cougar Holiday Cheer Drive is officially underway! Families are invited to participate in this annual event where Cougar families help Cougar families in need. Need in our community is growing and we need your help.

Cal Young is collecting donations of gift cards to provide the CYMS families who need a little help this season. We welcome any and all gift cards that could brighten the holidays for our students, giving their family the support to purchase either food or gifts for the upcoming break. Gift cards can be turned in to Ms. Alexis at the front office now through Wednesday, December 10th.

Suggested gift card amount: $5-$25/card

Common Stores:

Target
Fred Meyer
Wal Mart
Winco
Albertsons/Safeway
Cinemark
Regal
Kohls
Dick's Sporting Goods
Coffee Stands (Starbucks, Human Bean, Dutch Bros...)

Thank you for helping make the season bright for all Cal Young Cougars. If you would like a receipt for your tax deductible donations, please email Alexis at krivchuk_a@4j.lane.edu or include a note with your donation.

Can't make it to the store or in to Cal Young to bring a gift card, but would like to contribute? Donate online and we'll do the shopping for you!

If your family is facing hardship and could use a boost of holiday cheer this season, please sign up by filling out the form below. The form closes THIS FRIDAY, December 5th. You will receive a confirmation communication for pick up the week before Winter Break.

Lego Robotics Team Practices

As we head into the final stretch before our qualifying tournament on December 13th, our team needs some additional practice and project time. We only have two weeks after the break, so there are several extra after-school meetings. These sessions will run until 6:00 PM. We will also continue with our regularly scheduled Friday meetings.

Additional after-school meetings:

Tuesday, December 2nd
Thursday, December 4th
Friday, December 5th (regular meeting)
Monday, December 8th
Tuesday, December 9th
Friday, December 12th (regular meeting)

Please know that it is completely okay if your student is not able to attend all of the extra meetings or can only attend for part of the time. We understand that families have many commitments, and students will still be valued members of the team.
