laundry bar soap is usually available at Superstore or Safeway.)
Our goal is that
every classroom will make up one complete kit.
In order to do this, each student will choose an item that they would
like to purchase. The school will
contribute by purchasing the large items required for each kit.
If students would like to bring in more than one item or make a cash
donation towards making additional relief kits, it would be gratefully accepted.
Your son/daughter will bring home a note stating what he/she would like to bring. Please have all items in to the school by Friday, February 12th.
Thank you in advance for your support. Together, we can help make a difference.
Sincerely,
