We
are off to a great start on our Christmas Giving Tree project. Thank you for your generous offerings to buy
gifts for children in the foster care system.
We will continue to collect money for this project through November and
December. Our class is buying gifts for
twin girls – 6 years old. I have a list
of gifts that these girls have asked for and we will also buy each one outfit
and a pair of sneakers. Since they are
twins, we need to buy clothes and shoes that are similar, but perhaps in
different colors. If any of you would like to
donate an item instead of sending money, please let me know. I can tell you what specific items we
need. We have some things in the $5
range up to $30 or $40. Just tell me how much you want
to spend on the item you buy. We
can’t get them everything they want, but I would like to get each girl two or
three gifts in addition to the clothes.
Shhh! It’s a secret! To celebrate Miss Guelzow’s November wedding,
we are having a pantry shower. Each
student is asked to bring something to stock her pantry in her new home. You may bring canned or boxed items or paper
goods. Please send these to school by November 15.
