25 STUDENTS STILL NEED SPONSORS FOR HOLIDAY GIFTS!
Dear Families,
Many of our Washington Elementary School families celebrate holidays during the winter months. Each year we match children and families in need with families who would like to sponsor children for the holidays. Typically families reach out to me if they are in need of this help. A sponsorship includes gifts and clothing for a child. This typically includes two outfits a pair of shoes and several holiday gifts. Your family may be able to provide all of this or some.
If you are interested in sponsoring a child please let Mrs. L know ASAP. Simply send her an email expressing your interest in sponsorship and how many children (1 is typical) you would like to sponsor. She will have sizes and gift wishes to you by Thanksgiving break. Gift cards are also welcome if you don’t have the time or desire to do the shopping.
You can reach Mrs. L at tara.lechtenberger@fayar.net or 479-445-1072. She would LOVE to hear from you!!!
Parents, MARK YOUR CALENDARS!
