Rise Against Hunger
Dear Cooper Middle School families,
You are encouraged to sign up to donate and volunteer for our annual Langley Pyramid Rise Against Hunger event! This is a wonderful Langley pyramid tradition, and we want to ensure that all our families can participate. Our last in-person Rise Against Hunger event was held in February 2020. It was a huge success and provided a wonderful service learning opportunity for all family members.
On Saturday, February 4, 2023, families in the Langley Pyramid will join together to help children in need. In partnership with Rise Against Hunger, the Langley pyramid (elementary, middle, and high schools) have a shared goal to prepare 83,000 meal packages for schools and orphanages around the world.
Donate and help raise money for the event:
Each student is encouraged to donate loose change or money that they earn and wish to donate to Rise Against Hunger. Grade level jugs will be in the cafeteria for students to drop their change and make a donation. The collection period is January 3rd-January 20th.
Each meal costs 42 cents to make. For just $15, you can donate over 35 meals; $30 will make over 70 meals and $100 will make nearly 280 meals. Families may want to make an End of Year tax deductible donation. You may make your tax-deductible donation today at: http://events.riseagainsthunger.org/LangleyPyramid2023
In order to reach our goal of 83,000 meals, the Langley Pyramid needs to raise $35,000 by January 27th. If your company makes matching contributions, please consider having them join you in making a tax-deductible donation today at: http://events.riseagainsthunger.org/LangleyPyramid2023 and help us Rise Against Hunger.
Volunteer for the event: (Sign up opens January 3rd!!!)
About Rise Against Hunger
Rise Against Hunger is a 4-star rated organization that sends nutrient-rich, dehydrated meal packages to developing countries around the world. In those countries, the meal packages are delivered to families through the schools. In developing countries, children may not attend school to receive a formal education, so in part to this program, more children are being encouraged to attend school to receive a hot meal at school and additional meal packages for their families. As an additional benefit, more children are also receiving a formal education. Click here to learn more about Rise Against Hunger.
This is a great event for the whole family! Don't miss out. Please email LangleySHN@gmail.com if you have any questions.

AAP Level IV Parent Referrals
(7th grade only)
Parents/guardians of students in Grade 7 who would like their student to be considered for full-time advanced academic programs (level IV AAP services) for 2023-2024 may submit the AAP Level IV Referral Form to their Cooper school counselor no later than December 15, 2022.
Forms for AAP Level IV referrals are available on the AAP Forms Page. No late referrals for AAP Level IV services can be accepted.
Submitting a referral form for AAP Level IV will initiate a process that begins at Cooper and is then completed at the central office level. Cooper will put together a portfolio that includes multiple data which are considered holistically. At the central office level, a committee of professionals from various schools review materials to determine eligibility for level IV placement.
