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.
Please let me know if you are willing to shop with us or donate in order to buy a gift for a member of this family. There is still time to sign up! 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 8 @ 6:30pm (more info to come)
Thank you so much for your support!
Mrs. Haagsma
