With freezing temperatures, we often find children unprepared, and without hats, gloves, or scarves. In the spirit of service, a “Kindness Box” will be set up through Valentine’s Day to make sure the kids are warm enough to get through the season. Children can take what they need from the box should they find themselves without hats, gloves, or scarves.
The “Kindness Box” will be set up in the main building (by Parent Coordinator, Barbara Maier-Hopkin’s office), and in the annex, (exact location updated here), to collect these three items starting Jan 16th through Valentine’s Day, Feb 14.
Please consider donating a pair of new/gently used gloves or mittens, a scarf, or a hat. Thank you in advance for your generosity! Happy Martin Luther King Day!
In observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the school will be closed on Monday, January 15th. See you Tuesday!
