Thanksgiving Food Drive
Our school has a long tradition of supporting members of the Bullock community who are in need during the holiday season. Here is your opportunity to provide fellow Bullock families with bountiful Thanksgiving dinners!
You can help in a number of ways — you can donate a full meal, specific menu items or a gift card to a local supermarket. This process is completely confidential. Families who request assistance do not know who is providing the food, and vice versa. Items for Thanksgiving meals can be dropped off at school on Monday, Nov. 21st from 3:15pm- 4:15pm or Tuesday, Nov.22nd from 8:30am – 10:30 am
If you would like to donate items for Thanksgiving meals, please log on to SignUp Genius here.
Please note*: We can ONLY accept frozen turkeys. No frozen desserts, bread, or vegetables please! Consider donating a pie from our pie sale!
Thanks to our volunteers Alli, Kate, and Anna for coordinating!
Charles H. Bullock School has partnered with STEAM URBAN to bring a powerful after school enrichment program to our offerings :
BE A CHANGE MAKER: Empowerment through Civics & Social Justice
Explore being a changemaker, come use your voice to advocate for yourself, your family, and your community! Our goal is to change the way education looks and feels for Black and Brown students of all ages by tackling three main topic areas: Environmental Justice, Social Justice, and Educational Equity. We believe the key to combat social injustices, or the unequal distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society, lies in valuing and affirming Black and Brown students, and we invite your child to practice and develop their skills through choice, and voice, community collaboration, and Expressive Arts.
When: Tuesdays, January 23 through March 28
Time: 3:25-4:25
Who: Open to grades K-2, 3, & 5 (*4th graders will get this program as a residency in March)
What: Through the expressive arts, hands-on S.T.E.A.M, activities, open and safe conversations, and interactive games we will explore history, celebrate culture and self-identity, learn how to organize as a collective, and create viable resolutions that impact our daily lives.
Cost: FREE! Thanks to support for this pilot program from MFEE Excellence in Equity Grant.
