Homeless Awareness Week

To Central Cambria Parents and Students:   
   
Did you know now that the average age of a homeless person is nine years old? Many students become homeless for various reasons; fire, flood, domestic violence, or loss of income for the family.  Students are homeless by living in shelters, cars, campers/tents and even living with family or friends due to lack of housing.

The Education for Children and Youth Experiencing Homelessness Program in Pennsylvania is a state funded organization which provides support to our children that become homeless.  If you would like to help your fellow classmates, and many others that are experiencing homelessness, you can bring in items (which are listed on the back of this page) during the week of October 28- November 1, 2013.  On November 1, to show our support to our friends in need, we are asking everyone to wear a Blue Shirt to school that day.
Thank you for your support!!
