As the Christmas season approaches, there are many people right here in our community that are in need of hope. This year instead of a traditional gift exchange between the students, I would love for our class to adopt a family for Christmas. This project is called “Holiday Hope” as we are encouraging families and helping them to have a wonderful Christmas.
In a few weeks, we will be meeting to do our shopping for these families. We will shop together and brainstorm the perfect items to give to these families in need. During the school day, we will have a gift wrapping party to prepare our gifts. We will enjoy hot chocolate, cookies, Christmas music, and each other as we celebrate our ability to make another family smile on Christmas morning.
In order for me to decide on how many items each family member will receive, I need to determine what we are able to give. Please take a moment and fill out the green form sent home with your child so that I am able to decide how large of a family we are able to adopt. I want to thank you in advance for helping to make a special Christmas possible for another family in our community.
Dates:
- Shopping Day - Tuesday, December 9 @ 6:30pm (more info to come)
Thank you so much for your support!
