Dear Parent, Please join us in a school-wide celebration of caring, sharing and giving. The goal of this project is to create over thirty dinners that will be distributed to members of the community during this holiday season and to teach our students about caring, sharing and giving. Each dinner will include a variety of foods and each student will be encouraged to donate one item from the menu. Your child’s teacher either assigned a food item to each student or had them choose what they would like to bring. The specific food item is listed below. If you are unable to participate, please let your child’s teacher know. Food collection will begin on Monday, November 15th and continue through Friday, November 19th. On Friday the boxes will be moved to the Old Gym and classes will be invited to see what they have accomplished. Thank you in advance for your participation in this project and we wish all of you a very happy holiday season. Sincerely, Jamie Edelman Tricia Murray Rosa Amendola Sue O’Connell Principal Assistant Principal School Psychologist School Psychologist Your child, ________________________, is responsible for bringing _________________________________________ during the week of November 15th, 2010.
