Adopt a Family

Dear 1J Families-

We have decided to help families in need this holiday season. ASW is supporting the Warsaw Volunteer Mission (www.wvm.org.pl) who helps families in need. We have been asked to provide Christmas gifts for the children. If you are interested in buying a gift for a child please contact Ms. Johnson and I will send home the name and age of a child from the family. We are really counting on everyone in 1J to help out! All gifts need to be in and wrapped by December 8th.

On top of providing Christmas gifts for these children, the entire 1st Grade has adopted a family in need. We are adopting the Chmielewska family--a single mother with 6 children ages 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, and an adult child.

The family needs:

Food
Clothing
Toys
Money for coal
Cleaning supplies
Hygiene supplies (toothpaste, etc.)

There will be a collection box outside of our classroom. Please help and donate anything you can. Clothes can be used, but should be clean and in good shape. Gloves, hats, and scarves would be appreciated in this cold weather.

We thank you in advance for helping with this important service project. This is a great project to help our students get involved in helping others. We will talk about this project with the students at school, but please also take the time to talk about why and what you are bringing in to support this family.

The deadline is December 8th. We know this is very soon and appreciate your quick response.

We appreciate your support and generosity,

Ms. Johnson
Ms. Lucy
