SPD Equipment Drive
Dear Parents and Students,
The Christmas season is fast approaching. I know many of us will be cleaning out our children's' closets to make room for the new. While you are cleaning out these items please think of our SPD program at St. Paul.
During the month of December we will be holding our first SPD Equipment Drive. We will be gathering items that can be used for our SPD classes. We will take any item that you feel can be useful to our SPD program.
Please do not feel that you need to buy any new items. We are accepting any items that you or your child no longer need or use. However, items should be in working condition as students will be using these throughout the year.
Some suggestions are: tennis balls, hockey pucks, jump ropes, bean bags, bowling pins, Nerf balls, plastic bats, wiffle balls, foam balls, Frisbees, tennis racquets, any sport balls, etc.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Mrs. Trusty
