Last year we were able to adopt/assist approximately 11 families and hope to match or exceed that number this year. This service learning activity is a wonderful way that as a school community we can help others. We will have a week of "fun giving" starting Dec. 5th. All donation items will be collected in the grade level common areas and will then be distributed to needy families. Monday: 12/5 Messy Monday Household cleaning supplies: Laundry detergent, window cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, dishwashing soap, kitchen and bath cleaners, etc. Tuesday: 12/6 Toiletry Tuesday Toilet paper, toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, soap, shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc. Wednesday: 12/7 Wrap & Ribbon Wednesday Wrapping paper, tape, decorative gift bags, bows, ribbons, etc. Thursday: 12/8 This and That Thursday Stocking stuffers: batteries, candles, socks, lotions, small gift items, candies, small toy, etc. Friday: 12/9 Freezing Friday New Hats, gloves, scarves We are doing "Snapshot with Santa" during lunch shifts on December 6th and 7th. Students may sign up for an appointment slot during their lunch shift beginning December 29th. The cost of $5 for a 4x6 photo with Santa will be collected when signing up for the photo shoot appointment. These monies will also be added to purchase items on our adopted families' lists. Students will receive their photo before we go on Christmas break (approx. Dec. 15th). Change Wars –Winning team in each grade level will earn an incentive How it works: Each team gets their own collection jar, and students bring in their spare change and small bills to donate in exchange for points. Silver change adds 1 point per cent to your total (.25=25 points). Paper money adds 2 points per cent ($1=200 points). Pennies take away from the total, so you would put these in another pod's jar (.01= -1 points) |
