We are in the midst of our Kindness unit. We have been learning about the importance of kindness and compassion. We have been completing acts of kindness big and small and all of our talking, planning, and discussing is coming to life in the coming weeks. Your help is needed!
This year, the Kindergarteners are excited to help out a local organization. The students have selected our local Ronald McDonald House (RMH) as their charity of choice and are looking for your family's help with our two RMH drives in the following ways:
Wish List Drive
Food, cleaning, household and gift items are needed. Please CLICK HERE to see RMH's Wish List. Items can be dropped off in the RMH Wish List Drive Donation Bin in Willowwind's Front Entry. Big ticket items or cash donations can be dropped off directly with the Front Desk or in the Kindergarten classroom. The Kindergarteners will be delivering donations when we visit RMH on Monday, February 29th. It would be fabulous if each Kindergartener had one item to hand deliver on February 29th. I encourage your support in helping our Kindergarteners act on their desires to be kind.
Pop Tab Drive
Willowwind students are collecting pull tabs from aluminum cans. Please save up your tabs at home and bring them into Willowwind School. You can drop them off at the Front Desk or in your child's classroom. RMH receives money per the number of pounds that they collect. Last year, our local RMH received upwards of $14,000 from collected tabs. The Kindergarteners will be hosting this drive through the Spring. Don't forget to bring your cans, too, for Music's Can Drive. Drop off your tabs at Willowwind and your tab-less cans next to the dumpsters.
Thank you all for you support and helping our students continually see the importance in being kind and giving back.
