December 7th to December 11th
Special Holiday Project!
Each year Prairieview runs a service project around the holidays. Our efforts will benefit a deserving family. Each classroom at Prairieview has a family or an individual that is in need at this time. We haven't received any gifts yet, so anything you can bring in will be greatly appreciated!
Our family includes:
~ a fifth grade girl
~ a grandma
~ a mom
~an uncle (age 54)
In order to make this a special holiday, we have “adopted” them. If you could send in a NEW, not used, present for one or more of the family members that would be greatly appreciated.
Directions for our class family gifts:***
*Please wrap the gifts if they are not food items.
*LABEL the item with what it is with a post it note.
*Label who it is for.
Some ideas for NEW (not used) gifts include, but are not limited to:
Fifth Grade Girl: Scarf, hat, mittens, books, games, etc.
