HALLOWEEN CANDY COLLECTION
Halloween Candy Donation (Oct 30-Nov 6)
The Novi Meadows PTO is collecting Halloween candy from October 30th through November 6th. This candy will be used during our holiday party for the K-3 students at the Academy of Americas in Southwest Detroit. Donation bins will be located near the front entrances for both 5th and 6th.
BRIDGEPOINTE HOLIDAY GIFT COLLECTION
The PTO is working hard on prep for the Bridgepointe holiday party at the Academy of Americas in Detroit! Every year Novi schools partner with Bridgepointe, a charitable organization in Metro Detroit, to create a wonderful holiday party for students at the Academy of the Americas in Detroit. This year we will be donating gifts for over 450 K-3 students, and celebrating with games, cookie decorating, crafts, Christmas caroling and more. Please consider helping us in one of the two ways below.
Bridgepointe Holiday Gift Game Collection
Meadows will continue collecting board and card games through November 17th. You may either purchase gifts and drop off at one of the Meadows offices, or use our Amazon registry - https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/30I4CYUIGACCH to have donations shipped straight to the PTO.
Please consider making a donation. Thank you!
