A reminder that if you haven’t already done so (and a great big thanks to those who have!), please take some time this week to sort through clothes, bedding, and soft toys to see if you have some you can donate to our Bag2School program. Fill up the blue bag that came home before the Christmas break with gently used clothing, shoes (tied in pairs, please), bedding, coats, belts and soft toys. These items will be collected, weighed and distributed to those in need in developing countries. For each tonne collected, our school will receive $200. Since we have started this campaign, we have raised over $1900. Help us help others!

For the remainder of this week from 7:00 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., items can be dropped off at the school. Please ring the extended day buzzer before or after the regular school day. On Saturday, January 9 from 9:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m., items can be dropped off in the parking lot. Thank you to Cindy Habel for organizing this activity.
