LY AM & LY PM - Families helping families at Christmas


Cranston families, if you are interested in helping…

IMPORTANT à  Please send your child’s teacher a comment through this BLOG post titled ‘FAMILIES HELPING FAMILIES AT CHRISTMAS’. State what item you are willing to contribute or donate based off of the needs the family has indicated so that all other families in your child’s class can see what has been contributed and what still is in need.
Please remember that our families would love to not have to worry about the purchase of food items and more than one gift card to their chosen grocery store would be welcomed!
**We welcome donations of gently used items for our families as well.

All gifts/donations will need to be wrapped and labeled for whom they are intended for. Wrapped contributions will be due by:
Wednesday December 2nd, 2015

In the spirit of giving this holiday season, all staff at Cranston school would like to thank families in advance for their thoughts and contributions! Thank you for making a families Christmas a little brighter!!

  1. We will be donating toothbrushes and toothpaste as well as other toiletries. We will update once we get them. - Zachary and family.

    A side note: The families helping families program is a wonderful initiative. Our family has a close friend who works in one of the schools and we have been told how much this program helps the families in need. The appreciation for items is unbelievable and I'd like to remind everyone that every little bit helps. These families are in situations where they are going without, not by choice but necessity.
