Advent Week - Donation Drive
Advent Week
Since Advent is the season of giving, we really wanted our school to participate in something meaningful that is all about giving to others. We decided to do a reverse Advent calendar this year. Instead of getting from a calendar, we are the ones giving.
For each of the first three weeks of Advent, we are asking each class to bring in a specific item. Each class will have three items to donate throughout the entire Advent season. We will take all the donations we have collected to a local food pantry. Please see below to see which items we are asking for donations of from each class. There will be boxes in the entry way for each grade and a box for the staff to drop off donations. Below is a table separating which class should bring which item each week. Donating is not required, but the more we receive, the more we can give.
Thank you so much for your help during this Advent season.
Ms. Tomasi and Ms. Loderbauer
Notes from our Parent Organization
Christmas Celebration! We need your help!
Based on the results of the Survey Monkey that was published last week, we have decided to provide the staff a Christmas luncheon on Dec 19 as a Christmas treat this year and not do the Advent Angels program this year....soooooo I am looking for assistance! Cooking is not one of my life skills
I am completely open to ideas on the main entree, but I would also like to provide a salad, fruit, drinks (possibly festive ones), and holiday cookies/treats along side. If you are interested in helping pull this off, please sign up below:
