The National Junior Honor Society will be selling Candy Cane

Grams starting Wednesday, December 3rd-December 12th. Send
your friends, teachers, and staff members a candy cane to say
you appreciate them for $0.75 cents a candy cane, or buy 5 for
only two dollars! All proceeds will go to Operation Santa, who
helps the Erie community provide holiday gifts to families in need.

The PTO is sponsoring a Teacher/Staff Gift Wrap Event. We are asking parents
and guardians to donate gift wrapping supplies and their time to come into
the school to help wrap presents that the staff members have bought for their
family and friends. This is a way for the PTO to show the teachers their appreciation by saving them time and money for their gift wrapping. If you are
able to donate either your time to help wrap gifts on December 10th and/
or December 15th or gift wrapping supplies, please click on this link to sign up
through VolunteerSpot @ http://vols.pt/zED24j. If you have any questions
about this event, please contact Bev Hebrink at hebrink_beverly@svvsd.org.
Thank you in advance for your help!

TIS THE SEASON

During the last week before winter break, student volunteers and the
NJHS will be selling Beads for Life jewelry and handmade items in the
cafetorium during all lunches. The dates will be Dec. 15th through Dec
19th. All sales profits will help impoverished women in Uganda support
their families through bead making. Additionally, this sale will help our
Erie community by donating part of the profits to Erie Uplink, a local
organization that helps Erie families in need Items are beautiful and
colorful, and each is one-of-a-kind, since each bead is handmade by these
creative Ugandan women. Come and get your Christmas shopping
done Dec. 15th-Dec 19th!! Any questions, email Mrs. Kate Kemp.
