TWELVE DAYS OF GIVING

Keeping with tradition, beginning November 16th and ending December 4th we will be collecting items for our needy families.  Each grade level has been assigned a different category.  The items listed below are suggestions, other items are welcome.  (Please do not feel that your child has to send something every day, but if your child sends in one or more items, think of how many families we can help!).  Items will be placed under the tree as the children enter the school building.  Volunteers will collect, count and sort items according to needs of deserving families in our Pleasant community.  Please do not send glass jars on the bus or any perishable items (fresh fruits and vegetables, breads, or frozen items).
