Announcements small medium large WINTER COMMUNITY SERVICE PROJECT LETTER December 1, 2009 Dear Parents, Our 4th grade Winter Break Celebration will be held on Thursday, Dec. 17th, from 1:00 to 3:00. It is a tradition that the 4th grade students participate in a community service project as part of that celebration. Students will put together about 80 Ziploc bags full of hygiene items to be donated to Thrive DC, the Dinner Program for Homeless Women. During the party, students will decorate holiday cards to include in each bag, and then they will assemble the bags. We are asking each family to donate a few items for our project. All the items will be pooled together for all the fourth graders to put into the bags. We are making bags for 80 women, so we need each family to send in four of each item, in order to have enough for all the bags. Please see the list below to find out what to purchase, and send the items in with your child as soon as you can. Ms. Anderson’s: 4 toothbrushes 4 travel-sized toothpastes 4 8-oz water bottles Ms. Carrier’s class: 4 travel-sized bottles of shampoo 4 small sticks of deodorant 4 travel-sized bottles of hand lotion Mrs. Young’s class: 4 bars of soap (all individually wrapped) 4 small (travel sized) bottles of hand sanitizer 4 pieces of special holiday candy (individually wrapped in holiday style) *Remember that all of the 9 items must fit into a large ziploc bag, so make sure that you purchase TRAVEL size items. Room parents will be contacting you to organize volunteers to help out with the project. We appreciate your support with this project. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you, Ms. Anderson Ms. Carrier Mrs. Young SECRET SNOWFLAKE LETTER Dear Parents, This is the season to incorporate a little of the “spirit of giving” into our classroom.
