Mann School is now participating in a Blanket Drive. Mrs.

Sullivan is one of the

community organizers and is thrilled that our Student Council has voted to have
our school participate. We are joining Oak Park River Forest High School,
Julian Middle School, and the local hockey teams in this Blanket
Drive. There will be many cold days and nights ahead for Chicago's homeless.
Please help us gather new and gently used blankets of all sizes for Chicago's
shelters.
Help us reach Mann's goal of 150 or more blankets. Each homeroom will be
making a "no sew fleece blanket" so students are active participants in this
important service project. The student council generously donated the money to
make this happen. Mrs. Sullivan will also offer the following dates if students
want to bring two pieces of fleece (one solid and one patterned work great; use
width size of ream and then get 2 yards of each) to make a blanket with
her: November 16th, November 23rd, December 1, December 7, and December
8th. from 3:00 - 4:15 in the library. Please send her an email if your child will be
participating on a certain day.
***Please bring new or gently used blankets to school between December
1st and December 11th
