Service Learning

Hello,
The students have displayed a big interest in helping Jacob and his family since the last blog update. Samantha's mom so graciously offered to find out some information for us about donations in Jacob's honor at MD Anderson in Houston. We found out that they accept donations for the children who are being treated there. The items do need to be brand new. The accept stuffed animals, puzzles, crayons, markers, games and small toys. The students will also create cards to go with the new items to add a personal touch. If you and your child are interested in donating a small new item we will accept donations through next Friday. Since school is getting close to the end, we are limited on time. After the 13th the items will be shipped to MD Anderson in Houston. Jacob and his family are very appreciative of all the donations and this would be a great way to pass this on in his honor. If you would like to learn more about MD Anderson please feel free to click the link. www.mdanderson.org

The students are looking forward to reading their books with you on Monday morning. The students will be sitting at different tables in the room. This will allow for the parents to listen to their child read more of their own books. There will be juice, milk and donuts to snack on while you read together.


Thank you for all the "tokens" of appreciation this week. The students are so sweet!
Have a wonderful Mother's Day!
