Thanks for your support of Womenade's Celebration of Giving gift drive. I'm proud to be a part of such a giving school community.
Please encourage your children to check our lost and found for missing items. Anything not claimed before the break will be donated to COPE.

Your kids will have a FUN activity to do and you won’t even have to Bake! Many families loved this because they could order several and have Cookie Decorating Days with friends and family.
Each kit is $15 and includes the following:
1 dozen cut out sugar cookies
bags of colored icing
sprinkles
Orders MUST be received by Friday, Dec 10th. Please note the quantity you want to order and make a check payable to: Arbor View PTO.
Cookies will be available for pickup on the last day of school before break… Tuesday, Dec 21st. We will be located outside the main entrance with your cookies! *** Please make a note on the form if your child goes to EKC and we will deliver the cookies there for pickup***

Celebration Of Giving
Elkhorn Elementary/Middle Schools
Celebration of Giving Project
The Elkhorn Elementary and Middle Schools are sponsoring a Gift Drive for families within our Elkhorn community. These Elkhorn families have been identified as needing some special assistance during this time of year. We welcome the opportunity to have parents and children help build a sense of Elkhorn community, with this Giving Project.
The wish lists have been collected from the families, and the mittens will be displayed on the Christmas Tree in the front foyer of Arbor View.
If you would like to participate in this year’s project, here’s what you need to do:
1. Select a mitten with an item(s) that you are comfortable purchasing.
(Only adults are allowed to check out a mitten).
2. Record the mitten(s) you have taken in the Celebration of Giving notebook.
3. Purchase the item(s).
4. Gift wrap the item(s) at home.
5. Firmly secure the mitten(s) to the outside of the wrapped item. This is the only way we know what is inside of the gift and who the gift belongs to.
6. Return the wrapped item to your school, no later than Wednesday, December 8th at 3pm.
You may select a mitten(s), after school, starting on November 22nd and then before and after school beginning on November 23rd– December 2nd.
*Please keep in mind if ordering a gift, shipping times have been lagging. It is ok to purchase gift cards toward an item.
If you have time, I’d love a few volunteers who can help 15mins. before or after school Nov.23-Dec.2nd with recording the mitten information.
Thank you so much for participating! If you have any questions please call/text: Stacie Jones (402)714-2398
