Middle School Cooper Connects Students Give Back

Students assemble breakfast bags to donate as part of a pilot program.
Middle School Cooper Connects students assembled “breakfast bags” for the Montgomery County Food Bank as part of a pilot program. These bags will be distributed to the local school counselors to have on hand for students who miss or do not have access to breakfast in the mornings. Some of the donated items that were used in these breakfast bags included milk, protein bars, fruit bars, and fruit cups. 

"Our students are enthusiastic and excited to give back. We are proud of their efforts and leadership in raising awareness, organizing, and driving these efforts," said Ms. Elizabeth Gomez, Middle School Counselor at The John Cooper School. Thank you to Ms. Gomez for helping set up this amazing service event for our students!
 
Cooper Connects membership offers a unique opportunity for students to become integral contributors to The John Cooper School community. Cooper Connects is the heart and soul of Cooper’s caring community. Students not only have the chance to participate in a variety of engaging events and activities but also play a significant role in shaping the school environment for the better. Their involvement as student leaders is invaluable as they actively promote school pride, inclusivity, and positive relationships among peers. Through their dedication and efforts, members of the club become essential pillars of support and guidance, enriching the overall experience for both new and existing students alike.
