Giving Tree Project
Thank you to all families that have already helped our Pleasant Union K-Kids Club by sponsoring a “Family to Family Giving Tree” program for the holidays. If you are interested in participating in this project, please go by the office and choose an apple tag with a gift item on it. Gifts should be wrapped and returned to school with your apple attached no later than December 12th for a child in Tracks 2-4.
Thank-you for your generosity, and we hope your holidays are filled with joy and love.

Kind Coins for Hurricane Relief
The K-Kids will be sponsoring Kind Coins for Hurricane Relief in December and January. Students can bring loose change to school to support this project. K-Kids will be in the hall collecting coins from December 4, 2017 - January 11, 2018. Thank you for your support.
Kind Coins for Hurricane Relief is a unifying service project to respond to the destruction of the 2017 hurricane season. For every $50,000 raised, we will build a new playground at a hurricane-affected school. All students, families, and communities are invited to participate.
Where does the money go? 100% of the raised funds will go to hurricane-affected schools in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, and Puerto Rico. All collected money is mailed to Kids for Peace (501c3 #26-1564351), the nonprofit that hosts the Great Kindness Challenge. Kids for Peace will not take an administrative fee. Kids for Peace is partnering with our Great Kindness Challenge schools to build the playgrounds.
