Friday Features - 12/7/18 | Smore Newsletters for Education

From Crafts with Frosty to the Holiday Shop, our Bears kicked off December with a dose of holiday spirit. We're so grateful to all of our volunteers of all ages who've helped make this week memorable. Special thanks go to:

Our BGS Alumni, Brandon, Mathew & JR - for donning the Frosty costume and making spirits bright during Saturday's Crafts with Frosty & Holiday Shop
All of our Bear parents who volunteered during the Holiday Shop - whether you were helping little ones find a gift or ensuring they didn't spend too much, we truly couldn't have run the Holiday Shop without you!

We have one final event this month and it brings with it opportunities to help us continue to build our BGS community. Read on for more details.

Boxes Needed

Did you know what happens to the toys that don't sell at our Toy Sale? Our Toy Sale chairs have made arrangements with other local charities to pass on what we can't sell. To help make that possible, we would appreciate donations of large moving boxes. You can drop them off during any of the above-mentioned Toy Sale donation times next week. We'll use them to box up our left over toys to pay it forward to others.

Last Call for Read-a-Thon Pledges

If you still have outstanding Read-a-Thon pledges, get them in to school by Monday the 10th. Our Read-a-Thon collection period will officially close at that time.

Shop & Support BGS with Amazon Smile

Still doing holiday shopping on Amazon? Why not earn money for the school while you're at it? Just go to http://smile.amazon.com and register to support the BGS PTO (we're listed as PTA New Jersey Congress Of-Bradley Gardens). It's still the great Amazon services and prices AND Amazon donates a portion of the purchase back to our school! Just remember to place your Amazon purchases from smile.amazon.com rather than the regular Amazon link.
