Holiday Donation Requests
If you are interested, there are two opportunities this week to support our local community.
(1) Grantville Food Pantry |
|
|
During the Christmas Around the World celebration, students learned about a special tradition in England where boxes were filled with supplies to the needy. These boxes were opened on December 26 - Boxing Day. Last week during the event, students decorated boxes for the classrooms at East Hanover. We invite you to help us fill the boxes with non-perishable items to be donated to the Grantville Food Panty. Items are due Wednesday, December 20. Please mark items "Grantville Food Pantry."
(2) Lunch Meals Service Project
|

Several classes at East Hanover will be participating in a service project on Thursday, December 21, making lunch meals to deliver to Wildheart. Wildheart is a non-profit that serves the Allison Hill neighborhood in Harrisburg. This organization will distribute the meals to their neighbors - many who are homeless. The following items are being collected:
- Water bottles (8 oz.)
- Apples
- Granola Bars

From Mr. M.:
We have been busy as we wrap up the 2017 calendar year! It was great to see so many of you at Parent-Teacher Conferences. I encourage you to contact your student's teacher or myself with any questions as we move forward with the 2nd Trimester.
I would like to congratulate all of the students who participated in the Holiday Concerts. What wonderful performances, enjoyed by all! I would also like to thank our teachers, staff and volunteers who made our Holidays Around the World event a fun and educational success.
We are looking forward to a great spirit week and I wish you and your families safe and happy holidays.
