I know it seems early, but I wanted to get notes out about Christmas gifts before Thanksgiving for those Black Friday shoppers. Below is a list of activities that we will be doing during the holiday season. It is mentioned below, but please do not buy me any gifts and put that money towards a family in need. Thanks.
Christmas Store
- When: December 8
- How Much: $0.25 or $0.50
- What: Students are able to buy up to two gifts at the store for a dollar each. It gives students the opportunity to buy gifts for their parents or guardians on their own. Volunteers wrap the gifts and prepare them to take home.
Gift Exchange
- When: December 21st or 22nd (with Christmas Party)
- How Much: $5
- What: Each child will bring a gift for another student. If your child is a girl they should bring a gift for a girl and if they are a boy they should buy a gift for a boy. We will draw numbers randomly to decide who gets each gift.
Holiday Supper
- When: We’ll go food shopping on December 20th or 21st.
- How Much: Your Choice
- What: I know students look forward to giving gifts to teachers, but please donate money to this cause instead of giving me a Christmas gift. Our class will donate a holiday supper to a family who otherwise may not have one. As a class, the students will plan the menu and prepare a shopping list. One or two days before our Christmas break, three students (with parental permission) will go with me to a local grocery store to purchase the groceries with our class donations. The family will be someone who lives in the Iowa-Grant school district, however, neither the students nor I will know who the family is. Mrs. Belken will deliver the food to the family without us knowing who the family is.
