Toy Drive
Dear Lower Elementary Parents,
A few High School students are hosting a toy drive for kids in Morocco. We will be specifically collecting learning toys, such as finger grips, playdough, kinetic sand, soft (clean) animal toys, fidgets, sensory tools, learning mats, and building blocks. The toy drive will take place from, February 11th - May 8th. Kids can place these toys in the boxes set throughout the lower elementary hallway, starting next week. We would greatly appreciate if you could help out, so we can help children in Morocco learn better.
