"PANTHERS ARE PALS TOY DRIVE!"
We are excited to announce that our WES Panthers will be practicing the character traits of Generosity and Thankfulness during the months of November and December. Our children will be helping other children who have lost everything they own due to the devastating effects of Hurricane Ian.
Beginning November 1, we are collecting toys that will be delivered in December just in time for Christmas! We hope you will encourage your child to do some extra chores, donate some of their own money, or make some other type of sacrifice to help purchase a toy for a needy boy or girl. This is a wonderful way to teach your child the joy of giving!
• Toys must be brand new and unwrapped;
• If your child brings it to school on the bus, please put it in a bag or their backpack; please don’t send guns, knives, or other weapon-type toys;
• Classes will be competing for a Pizza Party, 1 per grade level!
• 2nd Runner-up Classes will get a Polar Pop Popsicle Party, 1 per grade level
• If possible, let your child help EARN the toy and BUY the toy. It will make the experience more meaningful.
We cannot wait to see our “Elf Workshop” to fill up with toys! Precious children will be blessed to receive toys, and precious children will be blessed to gift them! -
Congratulations to our first 9 weeks Super Kids! We are so proud of you!
