Please bring the unwrapped item to your classroom and they will be collected on 12/15.These items will be used in the holiday shop, prizes for pokes and medical procedures, birthday and end of chemotherapy celebrations. The department has said that they are running low on kids play medical kits, which are a hit. Other recommendations from the department are:

2) The students in each class will have a chance to write a Holiday card to a pediatric patient. The student can decorate or write as he/she wishes.3) Each classroom will make a Gingerbread chain that will be hung in the pediatric Department. These 8 chains will help brighten the hallways for the children.
