Members of the CDHS Interact Club donated $500 to help Cairo Rotary purchase a “shelter box” for refugees from Ukraine. The shelter box will provide a tent-like shelter for 15-20 individuals and it includes essential supplies such as a water filtration system and blankets. Students Natalie McGuire and Jessica Baeckmann sold baked goods to help raise funds for this humanitarian effort. Although the CDHS Interact Club usually focuses its community service efforts on local needs, McGuire shared that it also provides opportunities to offer assistance in other places where people need help.

Students taking a math Topics class with Ms. Ivino embraced a project that combined mathematics with architecture and physics. First, they researched different types of bridges then created a blueprint to construct their own structures. Ms. Ivino’s Topics class crosses curriculums and focuses on the interdisciplinary study of math. We love to see the collaboration!
