Winter Party Project: Donations are being collected in 104 A Science Lab
We are very excited to announce that all 3/4 classrooms will again to taking part in a project benefiting the Pediatric Department at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak.
There are 3 parts to the project: 1 will take place all NEXT week and the other 2 during the winter party.
1) The student are
invited to bring in 1 of the following UNWRAPPED gifts anytime next
week!! Beaumont is putting a holiday shop together for the kids to
choose an item and they need toys ahead of time. We will be delivering
toys at 3:30 on Friday 12/15. 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:
New Baby Board Books
Polar fleece no sew blankets
Paint Brushes
Large sheets of art paper
Wooden and ceramic paint kits
Xbox 360 games (new or used)
DVDs (newer titles; new or used)
Craft projects
UNO cards
Sippy Cups
Silly Straws
Bubbles (used for distraction)
Latex-free Nexcare character band-aids
Target, BeatBuy or ITunes gift cards
Toy/play doctor kits
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.
Happy Holidays!
