We are doing our annual fall food drive starting next week, November 2nd. Attached is a copy of the flyer. I am going to print out copies for you to place in your classrooms if you would be so kind, and also attach to this email should you want to send it out via dojo etc. It will also be in the newsletter.

This year we are going to reach out to some of our families in need and prioritize them first, then take what is left over to the community food bank. Several of our families are going through a really hard time and I'd like to help out any way we possibly can.

We are looking for volunteers who are interested in sponsoring a child for Christmas. If you would like to sponsor a student, please reach out to the school counselor, who will provide you with information about the child. Sponsors will be responsible for shopping for their sponsored child and bringing the items to the school. The counselor will then coordinate with the family to ensure the gifts are received.

We also have several siblings available for sponsorship. If you are interested in sponsoring siblings together, please let the counselor know when you reach out!

In previous years, we have accepted cash donations to help with Christmas assistance. However, cash donations will not be an option this year. We are asking volunteers to sponsor a child directly by purchasing and providing the items.

Students have been selected based on participation in previous years and staff recommendations. If your family’s circumstances have changed and you find yourself needing assistance this Christmas, please reach out to the school counselor to be added to the list. Please know that families will not be contacted until a sponsor has been secured for their child. Once a sponsor is in place, Ms. Haley will reach out with additional information.

Thank you for your generosity, kindness, and willingness to help make Christmas special for our Wildcats! ❤️
