We are partnering with Toy Box Connection to create Easter baskets for children in need. As always, the help from our school community is greatly appreciated. There are two ways you can help with this event.
1. Please donate the requested items assigned to your student’s grade. We suggest spending $10-$15. We have limited space to store donations, so we are asking that items are sent to school between Monday, March 27th-Wednesday, March 29th. Please do not send in donations before those
dates.

Preschool – Bubbles and Sidewalk Chalk
Grades K, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd – Small stuffed animals. Approximately 8-12 inches to fit in basket.
Grades 4th & 5th – Play doh. (Just the containers – accessories not needed.)
Grades 6th, 7th, & 8th – Small individually wrapped chocolates (no nuts please) for filling eggs.
All grades – We are looking for plastic Easter eggs and Easter stickers. If you have extra, it is appreciated, but please don’t feel you need to purchase these items.
All grades – Gently used children’s books. It’s a great time to clean through your shelves!

2. Please volunteer to help on Thursday, March 30th. You must be Virtus Compliant. If you are interested in volunteering, please email Shanin Karsky with your preferred time slot by Friday, March 24th.
