Every year at Christmas, each class "adopts" a family for the holidays. This means getting Christmas gifts for the families that otherwise would have nothing. Most of these families live out in rural Loris, Nichols, and the Green Sea Floyds area. Many live in trailers with holes in both the roofs and floors and some don't even have windows...Can you imagine? Instead of asking for iPods and video game systems, these families are asking for sleeping bags, warm pajamas, winter coats, and other things that our children take for granted. We are all fortunate enough that our children do not need to use their Christmas Wishes to keep warm at night.
Each homeroom will be assigned a family to buy for. Your teacher will be providing further information and details about the family assigned to your homeroom. We were thinking that it would also be nice to send each family a box of food, for example, cereal, ramen noodles, or snack items. Help 4 Kids has a "Backpack Buddies Program" that provides children food for the weekend. Barb Mains, the Help 4 Kids coordinator, said that for many of these kids, that is the ONLY food they have over the weekend. WE are not doing canned food, but food that children could get and make themselves. Many stores have"buy one get one free" this time of year. Please send in gifts at your earliest convenience but no later than Tuesday, December 17th. The Help 4 Kids van will be picking up all gifts and food boxes on
Thursday, December 19th
.
THANK YOU for all you do! God Bless you all, You make a HUGE difference in so many lives.
MAY YOU AND YOURS HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY!
