Newsletter Date
December 1, 2006

A HUGE thanks goes out to all the parents and helpers for this years Harvest Dinner. This year we served up a record amount of food. We put out 315 servings! We could not have done this without the help of our local Giant Food Markets, and our generous guests, donating canned foods and drinks. Also, over $600 was raised for our local CHOW organizations. This money is able to stay local and to help out our local families! Once again, Thank you for all your donations and contributions.

Donating for Christmas Baskets

We are going to be accepting donations of all shapes and sizes for this holiday season. We are hoping to gather non-perishable foods, and clothing for this winter/holiday season. Our goal as a whole is to gather enough to create 100 baskets for this holiday season. This goal is set high, and lets try to meet our goal! We are also going to be looking for volunteers to help assemble the baskets. So if you are unable to donate, but would like to help out, feel free to contact any of our teachers and they will gladly help you out in any way possible!
