Atlanta Mission 5k Race to End Homelessness: The Atlanta Mission 5k race to end homelessness in Atlanta was a huge success this past Saturday, Jan. 28th. Team Wesleyan raised $400. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Wesleyan's American Red Cross Blood Drive: Every two seconds someone in the U.S. needs blood, and one pint of blood can save up to four lives. Are you in good health? At least 17 years old or 16 with a parent who will sign for you? If so, you can do one simple thing. You could GIVE BLOOD.
Wesleyan's 2012 blood drive will be held on February 16 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. in McKeever. Parents, students (age 16 and over), faculty, and friends of Wesleyan are invited to share the gift of life. To sign up for an appointment to donate, please go to the Wesleyan School website home page, http://www.wesleyanschool.org/Pages/welcome.aspx, and click on “Blood Drive” at the bottom. If you have traveled to Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, or Peru or anywhere else outside the country on vacation, please call the American Red Cross at 866-236-3276 to verify if you are eligible to donate this year. Sixteen year old students require a signed parental consent form that can be picked up from Becky Cardwell or in the middle/high school clinic.
If you have questions please contact Sara Robinson at 404-641-8121, sararob7@gmail.com or Lisa Ostwalt at 404-803-7102, postwalt@msn.com.

Tuesday service opportunities:
Serve-His League is offering three projects this month, and they are very rewarding. Please consider signing up to care for those in our community.
Here are the opportunities to serve in February:
1.) Tuesday, February 7th -- A. Worley Brown (3:30-5:00)
A. Worley Brown is the local Boys and Girls’ club and is located 5 minutes from the school. There we will tutor students from 3:45-4:45 in the afternoon. The kids at A. Worley Brown go there after school and wait for their parents to pick them up after they finish working. When you go and visit, you help the kids with their homework and build relationships with them, too.
2.) Tuesday, February 21st -- Trinity House (4:45-7:30)
Trinity House is a rehabilitation center for homeless men who are overcoming addictions with drugs and/or alcohol. There aren’t words to describe how powerful this trip can be. We bring and share a meal with about 15 of the 30 or more men who live there. They go around the table one-by-one and tell how they ended up homeless and then how they are getting back on track. If you have never been to Trinity House before, I strongly recommend going at least once… you’ll be hooked!
3.) Tuesday, February 28th -- A. Worley Brown (3:30-5:00)
You can sign up to go on any of these project on the Serve-His League bulletin board located right outside of Austin Chapel. Make sure you also pick up a permission form, too.
For more information about either project, please contact Colleen Walker at cwalker@wesleyanschool.org.
Students must have a signed permission slip to participate in these Tuesday service opportunities.
