THURSDAY

Dear Parents

We are getting ready for Christmas and all the celebrations involved! This year, instead of a gift exchange, we have decided to collect items to send in the container to Liberia. Usually we spend about $15 on gifts for each other, and we decided that we could do a lot of good with items we collect for the same amount.
The kinds of items that we are collecting are medical and school supplies. You can send the items with your child whenever you have them, but we will be putting it together on Thursday the 17^th. Below are a list of items that we came up with that might be good to put in the boxes… you can chose some from either category or add other things that you might think of.

We appreciate your help as we look forward to making somebody else’s life better... what a neat life lesson!

HEALTH SUPPLIES & SCHOOL SUPPLIES
- face clothes - pencils - binders/duotangs - soap - pens - books - Shampoo/ conditioner - erasers - Highlighters - toothbrushes - markers - dictionaries

- Brushes - glue sticks - loose leaf - floss - geometry sets - crayons
- band aids - rulers - white out -bandages/tensors -scissors - pencil sharpeners

JUST A REMINDER:

> Our Christmas play is on Wednesday the 16^th at 2:30 in the Gym. All welcome!

> On the last day (18^th) we have the Turkey Dinner at lunch (all invited!) and then we are going skating at the rink until 3:30. Please make sure your child has skates and a helmet. (We are trying to arrange borrowing skates for those who do not have.)

Thanks for all your help!
