Welcome back! I hope everyone had a marvelous winter break!
- Van Arsdale is helping with the Grub Club Food Drive. Grub Club is a bi-weekly program in which homeless and emancipated Jeffco students receive boxes filled with three days worth of food, as well as personal hygiene products. They are working to collect 1,800 pasta dinners, for homeless Jeffco students. Fourth grade is having a friendly competition to see which class can bring in the most dinners! The food drive will be running until January 15th, so you have until then to bring in your donations. Please note: these students do not have can openers, please donate canned pasta dinners with a "pop-top".
- Our class is participating in another donation drive for The Gathering Place. They are collecting travel sized hygiene products such as shampoos, lotions, soaps, mouthwash, etc. We prefer the small ones as many homeless people don't have room to carry full sized products on their person. Any help is appreciated!
- Classroom Supplies: We have run out of spiral notebooks for math! If you have any extra unused spiral notebooks at home, we would appreciate if we could use them for math.
