Thank you to all who have already contributed to our annual food drive and Ceremony of Giving. The ceremony will be held this coming Friday. This is a great opportunity for students to engage in a little community service and to think about how they can help their neighbors. If you can donate food, we and the food shelf greatly appreciate. Families should feel no pressure to contribute more than they can.
The Ceremony of Giving is our annual celebration of generosity. It will be held Friday, April 18, 2014 at 2:30 PM. Our Ceremony traditionally involves donating non-perishable food items for the Woodbury/Calais Food Shelf. Our Ceremony has been going on for at least 15 years, and the students run the Ceremony without adult assistance. As parents and educators, we want our children to grow up generous, and inorder to help them do that, we need to give them opportunities for generosity.
Students: Please bring in a non-perishable food item by Thursday April 17. Each classroom will have a collection box. If you can’t send in items, or if you are a food shelf client, we will have extra non-perishable food items at the school so every child can participate. This is a celebration of community generosity more than individual generosity. Parents and community members are welcome at the Ceremony of Giving.
