Personal Care Drive for Elderly

(11/16): November and December are known as months of kindness and giving. To show our acts of kindness, we are hosting a personal care/beauty aid drive at your child’s school to support the residents at our local nursing homes. Items can include shampoo, soap, lotion, deodorant, and chapstick. Large print crossword puzzles and word find books can also be donated. It starts today and will last for 4 weeks. All items will be taken to our local nursing homes before Christmas break. We would love for all of our students to participate and learn the importance of giving to others.
We will have a friendly competition between the fifth and sixth grade classes. The grade level that donates the most items will receive an extra break time.
The personal care item drive will end on December 19. Thanks in advance for your help. For questions or other information please contact Betsy Ritchie at 489-6056.
