As John Andrew Holmes wisely said,
"Never tell a young person that something cannot be done. God may have been waiting
centuries for somebody ignorant enough of the impossible to do that thing."

Salvation Army and Service

Recently we have learned about the SALVATION ARMY FOOD DRIVE. We learned that they collect canned food for people that do not have enough food to feed their family.

For the last 3 months the children have been helping to do extra jobs at school  like pulling weeds and keeping our play ground clean. At first our goal was to earn enough money to buy a new Razor Scooter. After talking about our scooters that we have, we decided they still work well for us. Instead of buying a new scooter we would like to spend our hard earned money to buy canned food to donate to others with a greater need than we have. 



We are sending home $2 with each child. If possible, please take your child to the store (or allow them to purchase canned food from your pantry) so that they can experience purchasing canned food to help others in need. We will have a SALVATION ARMY FOOD DRIVE box at school. Thank you for helping your child learn how it feels to work hard, earn money, spend money and most importantly feel empathy for others.

Please return canned food by Friday, Feb. 3rd.

Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
