Giving Tree 2010
Girl Scouts handmade stockings
filled with mittens. |
For many years, the Sweetsir School & Donaghue School have joined forces with community members and local organizations to provide holiday gifts for families experiencing financial hardship. This wonderful tradition will continue again this year! If you would like to contribute, food drives will be held at both elementary schools and gift cards or monetary donations may be brought to the school office (checks can be made payable to 'Holiday Helper'). After Thanksgiving, there will also be a 'Giving Tree' in the Sweetsir lobby for children to hang donations of mittens and gloves. The tree is named after the book, by Shel Silverstein, featuring a tree that showed unconditional love by giving gifts.
A letter recently went home to let parents know how they can apply for assistance from the 'Holiday Helper' program. For more information, please contact one of the elementary school nurses or guidance staff members.
