Touch the chest and fill it with school supplies. Lee High School announced the Kickoff to A Class Act on January 17. The National Honor Society is participating with students helping in the planning and coordination of activities. Teachers from The Rice School, working with the Greater Houston Area Red Cross , have developed Interdisciplinary Lesson Plans which are available electronically to teachers. Topics covered include geography, science, writing and computer applications to research the countries that are requesting the chests.
Children can decorate the chests for an art project.
The project, which creates global community awareness, can be integrated with the classes current curriculum, providing teachers with an opportunity to share lesson plans with their peers. Schools wishing to participate in A Class Act are asked to collect supplies to fill a chest. Please email your school's name so your school can be recognized as participating in this outreach program. Local businesses have been contacted to help defray the expense of the school chests for schools that cannot easily afford them. Schools are also encouraged to contact their business partners for donations of supplies.
