Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
As you are already aware, we are currently participating in a community project to support all of our active service members. In speaking with some of them and their families we want to show our continued love and support, even when they are overseas. The way that we have chosen to do this is the last Thursday of each month is R.E.D Day! R.E.D stands for Remember Everyone Deployed. We are working with some local parents of soldiers to begin selling T-Shirts for R.E.D Day as well.
Please remember that we are continuing to sell our toy soldiers for $1.00 each in an effort to raise funds so that we can send care packages to our active service members. At the High School, you can purchase these from Mrs. Lane in the Office. It will be a great support for all of our communities to jump on board and show your support for the soldier care packages. As of right now, the plan is to send care packages in February and then again in the Spring time. This is something that we believe in supporting and want to be able to continue to send packages throughout the year. Below is a list of items that we are collecting for these care packages. At the High School, all items may be dropped off in Mrs. Mitchell’s classroom and at the Grade School they may be delivered to the students' homeroom teacher.
Items for the Care Packages:
*Snack Bars *Small Hard Containers of Snacks * Snack Cakes *Cheese Crackers
*Candy (No chocolate) *Gum *Sunflower Seeds *Nuts *Trail Mix
*Toothbrushes *Toothpaste *Shaving Lotion *Disposable Razors *Shampoo *Mouthwash
*Lip Balm *Lotion *Q-tips *Frisbees/Ball *Yo Yo’s *Fidget Spinners *Holiday Decor
*Journals *Books *Boot Socks *AAA batteries *Shower Towels *Homemade Cards and Letters
If you would like more information on how to donate or help this worthy cause, please call Mrs. Allyson Ryan at the Grade School.
Thank you for your continued support and do not forget to wear red on Thursday, January 30th!
