Pint-Size Hero Blood Drive
Gayman Elementary is partnering with the American Red Cross to host a blood drive on Friday, February 13th from 2:00 PM until 7:00 PM in the cafeteria. Next week students will watch a powerpoint presentation entitled "Pint-Size Hero" program. The program is designed to teach elementary students facts about blood donation while hosting a blood drive as a school-wide community service project. While recognizing elementary students are too young to donate blood, they will be encouraged to invite eligible blood donors to donate on their behalf.

Thank You From Bucks County Housing Group and Dandelion Time
Over the past two months Gayman families and students donated their time and support to two very worthwhile charities. Both the Bucks County Housing Group and Dandelion Time extend a thank-you to everyone.
Dear Friends at Gayman Elementary School:
Thank you very much for the donation of decorated snack bags for our pantry clients. At present over 40% of our pantry clients are children under 18 and as you can imagine kids are really happy to get a nice snack bag. This was a great project for you to have done for Martin Luther King Day...you did something really nice for other people.
Sincerely,
Maddie Burgess
Food Pantry Coordinator
Bucks County Housing Group
