Spirit Day is December 4th
SPONSOR-A-FAMILY
It’s that time of year that our School Community gets together and spreads Holiday cheer by assisting local families. As you begin to prepare for the Thanksgiving break we are excited to have the opportunity to assist Poway Unified School District (PUSD) families in need, through our annual MRES Holiday Sponsor-a-Family program. Families needing assistance are identified through the PUSD office. The families create a wish list of items and our MRES community comes together to fulfill their request. Many of the families request items such as clothing, blankets, school supplies, grocery store gift cards, and household items.
Please click the links below if you would like to be part of this wonderful program.
Donations will be due to the school on, or before, December 9th. Collection bins will be placed in the office. Please remember to label your donations so they get to the correct family (each family is given a code to ensure anonymity). If you have questions about this program, please contact MresSponsorafamily@gmail.com. Thank you for your support.
