A SEASON Of GENEROSITY Karen Vail, Principal
I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing community! We have had several organiza ons and staff members offer up dona ons of Christmas trees, food, clothes, and gi s for families. As you know, it is not about the ‘stuff' we get but the inten on behind the giving. This community cares so much and wants to support our school and students. I want to personally thank you all! Have a wonderful holiday and we will see you in 2014. LOCKDOWN [email protected]
Adopt a Grandparent
Mrs. Handgis' and Mrs. Crawford's classes are very
proud to announce that they raised $161 dollars to
go towards the program 'Adopt a Grandparent.' This
program helps to bring gifts to the residents living in
the Mark Twain Convalescent Home in Angels
Camp. The first graders’ goal was to raise $50, thus
they would be able to adopt two grandparents.
However, due to the large amount
of money they raised, they are now
able to adopt six grandparents. Mrs.
Handgis and Mrs. Crawford are very
proud of their children's hard work
and loving hearts! Thank you first
graders, for helping to make a
difference in six people's lives.
