Thank you to our Red Nose Day committee chairs, Reagan Sheehan and Bradley Taylor. Under the supervision of Amy Stickley, yesterday’s Red Nose Day was a magnificent success! All of our peer leaders worked together to raise our awareness of homelessness with engaging activities for the whole day. Students read “Toby Finds a Home” with their homeroom teachers, followed by a book discussion. The Covenant House spokesperson captivated all our students' attention while building their understanding of homelessness and the services they provide. Peer leaders led activities to kick off our sock drive and guided students through a STEM activity to build a house for Toby, the main character in the book. The day culminated in a peer leader led carnival in which all proceeds will go directly to support the good work of the Covenant House. We are so proud of all of our Badgers and their participation in this event and appreciation of the cause.
Enjoy a few photos from the day.

Leadership Council
Anything But a Backpack Spirit Day - May 29th
Rules will be announced during the morning meeting on May 9th and shared in the VIP folders
Snack Cart
This was our first week that our snack carts ran in Henderson and Wilson. Leadership presented this idea to administrators a few months ago and received the green light after working through some factors that could present challenges. This is our pilot program. After the pilot, we will evaluate how successful it was and if any adjustments need to be made.

THE CRAIG GOLF EVENT NEEDS YOUR HELP!
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already supported our Golf Outing Auction by purchasing items from our Wish List! Your generosity is truly appreciated and is helping us build some incredible auction packages.
There are still plenty of great items available for those considering a donation, and other ways to pitch in if shopping isn’t your thing!
Here are 2 ways you can help.
First, our online auction will run alongside the outing, and we need your help to make it a success! Thanks to our generous Craig families, we’re bringing back the Amazon Wish List for easy item donations. Simply select an item, and it will be shipped directly to Craig School to be bundled into auction packages.
Every contribution - big or small - helps make this event successful. Thank you for supporting Craig’s largest fundraiser!
For questions, contact:
Amanda Jahn (ajahn@craigschool.org), or Mary Calvano (mcalvano@craigschool.org)
The second way to help - attend the outing and/or dinner. Details are:
