As you probably know already, our school has started a couple of fund raising campaigns. This year we are focusing on raising awareness and funds for our playground and for the upcoming missions to Haiti.

Our playground continues to be a well used and loved area of our school. With the recent equipment purchased, students have gained a whole new way to use their minds and bodies to stretch, manipulate and interact with. These are all important skills and abilities for growing minds and bodies. As such, we are looking to purchase more equipment to give more students an opportunity to use the equipment and participate. For that fundraiser, we are looking to start a coin drive for the month of February. If you have any loose change lying around or a piggy bank that is starting to look a little fat around the middle, please consider donating to our playground fund and giving to help our students and school grow in opportunities to learn and play.

The second fundraiser, our mission trip to Haiti is also a very important one. In a time and area, where there is so much hunger, loss and needs, our missions trip is our opportunity to give to those who need so much. In the student’s planners today, you will see an order form for Krispy Creme donuts. The Missions group has also provided us with a specific need that they would like us to give towards. They are looking for us to help them with providing the following things:

New or Gently Used

• small stuffed animals (Beanie Baby or Webkinz size)
• toys (Hot Wheels, dolls, balls, cars and trucks, etc.)
• summer clothes, sandals and flip flops for ages 5-17
• Pencil Crayons, and glue sticks

If you can help us out with those items that would be wonderful!
