Dear Band Parents and Students,
Each year, we all try to do something to make the Christmas season special by helping those in need and I know that most of you have your own way of doing this. I am writing with an opportunity for those of you who want to do something really special though Catholic Charities. The fine arts department at school (band, art, and consumer sciences) will be “adopting” several families on campus this Christmas. First of all, this is not mandatory of your child. If your child is already doing this through the Key Club, your church, or some other organization, then you do not have to participate twice. I am trying to get a number of responses so I can plan how big a family we want to adopt. We can make donations of clothing, toys, gift cards, or cash. Donations of clothing and toys should be new. We will try to provide gifts to children and parents. Please respond to this post or give me your name at school so I can estimate how big a project this will be. Once I get some numbers in, I will accept donations until December 12. We have to deliver everything to the Catholic Charities workshop by December 14.
Thanks,
Doc
