*Thanksgiving Vacation*
No school Wednesday, Thursday or Friday next week (11/21 – 11/23). Have a great Thanksgiving holiday with your family!
*Gift of Hope – Christmas 2012*
Mrs. Harding’s class is collecting donations for the Gift of Hope missions in Gulf Shores. Items needed are gently used toys, diapers and hygiene products. These items will be distributed to families who would otherwise have nothing to give their children for Christmas. There will be a box in the school lobby wrapped like a Christmas present. Please put your donations in or next to the box. We will be collecting donations through Thursday, December 6th. On that day, our class will be taking all of the items to the Gift of Hope headquarters. While there we will learn more about the needs locally and be put to work washing toys, sorting items; whatever they need us to do. Something that means very little to one person can mean the world to another. Thank you so much for your generosity.
