First Grade November Newsletter

Kids 4 Kids
Each first grade class, along with their buddy class, has teamed up to help make a difference in a Columbus area familys life. The Kids 4 Kids program combines two service projects, the Food Drive and the Clothing Drive, to help provide the necessities and some comfort items to a family suggested by the Childhood League in Columbus. The Food Drive collects nonperishable items and combines them to make 2 weeks worth of meals for our sponsored families. The Clothing Drive collects gently used and new clothing items to match the needs of the sponsored families. What we are asking you to consider is making a donation of a gift item that will help make this familys wintertime a bit warmer and more comfortable. We will be producing a listing of needed/wanted items for each family member with the help of first and third grade room parents. We will be receiving pre-sorted items from the Clothing Drive. After reviewing these items we will have a clear idea of what is still needed. This is when we will need your support and generosity. The project will culminate in a wrapping party the week of November 18th. Please look for more specific communication regarding details about the family your childs class adopted.
