I was happy to announce this morning to our students that we gathered enough food for 170 families in need for Thanksgiving. That is awesome. Food was still coming in this morning! Our next event will be Santa's Workshop. The Workshop is set up in a classroom and students can come buy little presents for family or friends. Items are low in cost so students can afford it.
On another note, as I walked through the quad this afternoon, I saw more and more blankets being made so that we can donate them to Children's Cabinet, a non-profit resource for children in need. One of our staff members called Red Cross on Friday to see if they needed some blankets. We were ready to help those families put out by the Caughlin Ranch Fire, but they had enough by the time we called. What a great community we live in!
Speaking of giving, our families raised over $20,000 in our fund raiser. The PTO gets to keep $10,000 of that. Because we raised so much money, I had to wear a hippo suit! The students loved it.
