A Can of Food, a Cup of Joe, & Even an Angry Bird, or Two!

A Can of Food - Willowwind Food Drive - until December 16th
During this season of giving, Willowwind is participating in a food drive for the River Community Church (across Muscatine Ave) Food Bank. Please take a moment to donate a non-perishable food item, or two, or more. Students often enjoy raiding their own cupboards for non-perishable items they can bring in to donate. Food donation bins are located upstairs near the Front Desk and downstairs near the Preschool Lost & Found. Willowwind will collect nonperishable items until December 16th. Please help stock the River Church Food Drive shelves. Your participation will help many families throughout the Winter months. Thank you!

A Cup of Joe - First Friday Parent Coffee - THIS Friday, December 2nd
This month's First Friday Parent Coffee is on Friday, December 2nd. After drop off, stay for a cup of coffee and a lesson and demonstration by Willowwind parent, Chef Gaby, and owner of Back to the Table. Gaby will also give parent ideas for fun and healthy lunches.

Even an Angry Bird, or Two!
Speaking of fun lunch ideas… I found a great blog that details ways to make eating healthy and lunch time more fun. This lunch idea shows ways to transform fruits & veggies into cute Angry Birds characters. Angry Birds is a popular game on our iPad and your child may love the surprise of Angry Birds invading their lunch box. Check out this blog and Gaby's Friday Coffee discussion for more great lunch ideas.
