As part of a service learning project, students in Mrs. Lauri Bell’s 8th grade Health classes presented care packages to the Chesapeake Treatment Center, LLC. The care packages will be given to people seeking treatment for drug, heroin, and opioid abuse. The 8th graders donated over 85 care packages, posters with encouraging sayings, and inspirational art work. With every care package, the students wrote notes of encouragement. The students were very happy about being able to help those in need.
Amber Rippeon and Matt James from Chesapeake Treatment Services, LLC paid a visit to Easton Middle School to pick up the care packages.Although this is not the first time Mrs. Bell has offered this project to her classes, the response this year was outstanding. “The students amazed me with their generosity, enthusiasm and creativity,” said Mrs. Bell. “We had our highest participation ever in this project!”
