Clothing and Toy Drive

Hello, everyone. I hope you've had a nice, long weekend. We have had many days off recently, and that has put me in a very good mood. Anyway, to the point: as some of you already know I'm organizing a clothing and toy drive for the victims of the wildfires, and some help would be greatly appreciated. All you have to do is talk briefly to your senior service classes about it, if you want to, and for those who don't I'll go and speak to those classes myself. And, if you wished, you could help me possibly after school, or during LEAP. You may be wondering: what's in it for me? Well, you'll get community/school service if you help out. I'm not quite sure which, as it involves both the school and the community; I'll ask Mrs. Geffen later.

Here's a copy of the article that is going in tomorrow's newsletter:

California Wildfire Victims In Need
In keeping with the holiday spirit, please consider donating a few items to help the victims of the recent fires. Members of the student body wish their Mirman community to participate in easing the recovery of those families displaced from their homes by the wildfires. The Salvation Army, in partnership with Goodwill, is accepting donations. Please bring new or gently used, laundered clothing and/or children’s toys to the front or back gates starting December 5th and ending on the 14th. To make it easier for collection, please remember to place these items in either boxes or plastic bags. Donations received at Mirman will be taken to Goodwill for further distribution to those in need. Thank you for your generous efforts!
For further information please contact Madeleine Shelton, US 4, at smileyface1108@yahoo.com or 1(310) 451-1545.

So, if you could, help the wildfire victims by helping me with this drive, as it can't happen unless I have support of at least a few classmates. Anybody in the upper school can help, so spread the word.

Thanks,
Madeleine
