MLK Jr. Day of Service (Mon 1.16) - Help needed!

Monday, January 16th is Martin Luther King Jr.'s Day of Service.  In honor of MLK Jr, K-6 students will spend the morning learning about and celebrating his work and legacy.  In the afternoon, K-6 students will work in their multi-age service learning groups and put the finishing touches on their semester long service learning projects.  K-6 students have been working in two groups to make an impact in our community.  One group is working to help better our own school and the other group is working to make a difference in the Iowa City community.  Ask your child which group they are participating in.

Both groups are in need of your help!  Our Willowwind School Service Learning Group has created a Go Fund Me page (linked HERE) to ask for small donations to cover the cost of supplies for various projects to better our school.  The Willowwind School group will also be working with the Iowa City Service Learning Group to share Go Fund Me donations to give back to our community.  If you are interested in donating please visit our Go Fund Me page by Friday, January 13th.  Cash donations may also be given to Rachel B. or Dana at the Front Desk.  Please specify your cash donation's intent.

In addition, our Iowa City group is working with various organizations in Iowa City to support local causes.  The Iowa City group will begin a brief Ronald McDonald Wish List Drive on Monday, January 9th.  This Wish List Drive is specifically looking for "individually-wrapped snack items" to give to patients and families as they are on the go in between appointments. Non-perishable snack items may include:  granola bars, trail mix, fruit snacks, Pop Tarts, fruit cups, applesauce pouches, pudding cups, single serving bag of chips / popcorn etc.  There will be a drop off bucket in Willowwind's Front Entry Way.  Cash donations can also be dropped off at the Front Desk with Rachel B. or Dana.

We are so proud of our students as they have committed a great deal of time and effort into playing our annual Day of Service.  They are excited to help so many.  Your support is greatly appreciated.  We cannot do it with your help!  Thank you for your dedication to our students' wonderful generosity!
