Holidays

It is fast approaching the holiday season and this is when we usually receive many phone calls from people who would like to help out. Here are some ideas:

adopt a family (for Thanksgiving or Christmas)
sponsor a food drive
sponsor a used coat drive
sponsor a hat and glove drive (new only)
Your class or school can hold a book drive. Donate new and barely used books from your classroom or from Scholastic Book sales
Let your imagination go. Think of items that YOU would like to receive at the holidays. Think of things that many of us take for granted.
