SPO Service Drive: Wish I May – Friday is Last Day for Collections
Tomorrow, Friday 3/29, is the last day of the SPO Service Drive, benefiting Wish I May. The class that collects the most items (based on a point system as described in this handout) will win SPO’s Traveling Service Trophy. The trophy currently resides in the Beginners classroom with Mrs. Kimmons. Which class will be the winner this year?
There are donation boxes in The Summit lobby, labeled with each class. Thank you to everyone who has contributed thus far! We can tell there are going to be many happy children in the Ozarks with all of the gift items that have been donated!
It looks like we are in need of:
-
Packages of birthday themed plates
-
Packages of birthday themed napkins
-
Chocolate cake mixes
-
Cans of frosting
-
Packages of tissue paper
Wish I May is an organization that works with 30 different local charities to determine children with upcoming birthdays, whose parents cannot afford to provide them with presents or celebrations on their special day.
