Hi, It’s the GIVE power hour.
Thank you to those who have brought in some deodorant for the “fill a sock, fill a need” program.
The charity we have chosen this month is the Calgary Drop-in center. We will be participating in “fill a sock, fill a need”. We will help bring joy to homeless Calgarians this holiday season. With your help 1200 men and woman will wake up to a stocking by their bedside on Christmas morning. You can help by bringing the following items:
socks grades 5/6, tooth brush /tooth paste from grade 3/4, grade 2 will be collecting deodorant, grade 1 will be collecting lip balm /lip gloss and kindergarten will be collecting hand sanitizer. Please bring all items to Mrs. McKay’s room by Wednesday December 14th.
Thanks for helping to make a difference this holiday season.
