Student Council ~ Sponsor a Family for Thanksgiving
Dorchester Student Council is partnering with the Woodcliff Student Council to Sponsor a Family for Thanksgiving this year. Any family who would like to participate just needs to fill a bag provided by the Student Council with items for a family to enjoy a Thanksgiving meal at their home. All bags will come with a list of items to fill. Please reach out to Mrs. Raffel at (kraffel@woodcliff-lake.com) if you would like a bag to be sent home with your son or daughter. Our goal for Dorchester is to fill 70 bags. All bags are due Monday, November 15, in order to ensure these families have enough food for Thanksgiving.
Thank you for your generosity!
