Dear Families,
It’s the Holiday season and a great time for giving from the heart. For the last 10 years, we have made it a school wide project to donate new winter items to the Department of Children and Families in Worcester County and to families within the town of West Boylston. The response over the years has been overwhelming; with more than 2,000 items bought! DCF and local families struggle to supply children with hats, mittens, and scarves. Collecting new items will be a great way for all of us to spread some holiday cheer. We will be placing decorated boxes in the hallway next to our holiday tree where children may donate new hats, mittens, scarves or a matching set. The items brought in will be hung on our holiday tree in the front hallway of the school for all to see. There are many, many children ranging from infant to teen who will appreciate and benefit from your generosity. We will be collecting items from, Wednesday December 11th- Monday, December 16th.
Items will first be distributed to families in need in West Boylston and the remaining items will then be dropped off at the Department of Children and Families Worcester and Leominster offices. Please think about helping us help the children!
Items needed: Sizes range from: Infant to Teen
Hats
Ear muffs
Scarves
Mittens
Gloves
Neck warmers
Thank you,
Major Edwards Elementary School
