Center Line
High School
Dear Families,
We are pleased to report that our students are meeting the expectations of
our community service initiative. This initiative is in place to extend learn-
ing beyond the traditional classroom walls and connect with our community
on meaningful levels.
In October, our Community Service Class and Community Outreach Club
helped advertise the CLPS coat drive at the high school which increased the
amount of donations this year; our students also volunteered to work at the
clothing drive. They also held a toiletries drive at CLHS for a local homeless
shelter. They collected 14 shampoos and conditioners, 7 toothpaste tubes, 3
toothbrushes, 6 dental floss rolls, 22 bars of soap, 10 deodorants, and 3 lo-
tions! Mrs. Cook and our students delivered the goods as well.
Continuing with our service to the community, JROTC cadets mentored Cub
Scout Troop 1708 (the “Wolf Cubs”) and taught them proper flag etiquette
and procedures. The Cub Scouts enjoyed learning these skills and interact-
ing with our JROTC cadets.
For students in need of their required community service hours, the Arc of
Macomb County (an organization that has been supporting persons with
disabilities and their families since 1953) needs volunteers for their gift
wrapping booth at the Macomb Mall from December 1 - 24. Shifts of 3-5 peo-
ple usually last 3-4 hours; call Mrs. Laurie O’Meara at the Arc of Macomb
County (586-469-1600) to sign-up.

The firefighting class has been working hard to give back
to our community. They decided to do what firefighters
do best- save lives and protect property! Our students are
installing brand new smoke detectors (graciously donat-
ed by Home Depot) in Center Line residents’ homes. Go-
ing door to door this past month, flyers were passed out
to let homeowners know the class would be by on Novem-
ber 7th, should they need a new smoke detector. For resi-
dents who already have a working smoke detector, re-
placement batteries are offered focusing on the elderly
and handicapped that may have trouble climbing a lad-
der. Our students partnered with Center Line Police De-
partment and Center Line Firefighters, who went to door
to door with our students to ensure safety. We have also
been learning the basic fundamentals of search and res-
cue in a smoke filled home. We have a simulated house
that fills with smoke in which students must crawl
through to find their victim and drag them to safety. The
class has taken turns volunteering at public safety
events demonstrating to children how to get out of a
burning house.
CLHS Firefighting Students Serve the Community
As our EMT students prepare for clinical rotations at our local emergency departments and ambu-
lance companies to gain field experience through one on one patient contact, we have been spending
a lot of time learning hands on skills. After countless hours of practice and studying, our students
have earned their Basic Life Support for Healthcare Providers certifications through the American
Heart Association. They have also learned how to secure an airway during emergency situations
using both a combi-tube and the KING airway device
which allow ventilations to be given to patients not
breathing on their own. Finally, we have been honing
our skills on one of the most common and critical as-
sessments in pre-hospital care, vital signs. By the end
of this month, our students will be experts at taking
blood pressures, pulses and respirations. All of their
hard work has been paying off and they were treated
to a day of fun! We spent the day before Halloween
showing the students how to make fake (yet realistic)
wounds using clay, wax and paint. It was a learning
experience enjoyed by all!

The Center Line High School Marching Band has had a very successful fall season. Our students
began rehearsing in July with a two week band camp. In addition to their summer practices, each
summer the band is asked to perform for the residents at the Father Murray Nursing Center Sum-
mer Fair. This performance allowed our band to prepare for their upcoming season, provide enter-
tainment for the residents and staff, and acquire community service hours.
In addition to performances at our home football games, they also participated in the Harper Woods
Band O Rama, and the MSBOA Marching Band Festival, held at Mott High School. There they per-
formed their best show of the season, earning a Division I rating and high praise from all the judg-
es!
Our theme this year was "The Blues Brothers" featuring great rhythm and blues songs from artists
like Aretha Franklin and Cab Calloway. The band performed I Can't Turn You Loose, Soul Man,
Rawhide, Peter Gunn, Minnie the Moocher, and Think.
