Veterans Day Recognition
Veterans Day is rapidly approaching. Toll Gate Middle School would like to take the opportunity to recognize and honor those who have served or are currently serving our country in the armed services. We are asking that you fill out the form below and have your son/daughter return it to school by Thursday, October 29. If you have a friend or a family member who is currently serving or who has served our country, please write his/her name, the war they fought in (if applicable), the military branch served under, and the name of your Toll Gate student. A star will be made to honor all names returned to us by October 29. The stars will then be placed on the windows of the Media Center November 11. Thanks for your support of this project.
Holiday Help and opportunities to help
Pickerington Schools will once again team up with the Violet Township Fire Department to help provide some holiday assistance for families in need during this holiday season.
Interested in donating?
If you are able to donate to this important cause there are several ways to help out this year:
● The traditional big red boxes throughout the community and in the schools accepting donations of new toys/gifts.
● Gift cards are also appreciated.
● Cash donations through Paypal.
● Another way of donating this year is through Amazon and Target. If you would prefer to donate in this way, click on the links below. Be sure to ship to Violet Township Fire Department Toy Drive (address will appear as an option).
In need of assistance?
Request an online form for holiday assistance by contacting Kelli Saksa, School Counselor at kelli_saksa@plsd.us or 614-834-6400. The request link will then be provided to you, only one per household please. This form is handled in a confidential manner with more details from your school counselor. Please remember that we will only be able to supplement your holiday needs. The online form must be completed by Friday, November 20th.
