Thanksgiving Holiday ~ Please remember that our Thanksgiving break begins Wednesday. I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving and I for one will be giving thanks for having the privilege of working with these amazing students, fabulous families, and sensational staff!
Canned Food Drive ~ The Valley Christmas Project Canned Food Drive is off and running. Please send in you non-perishable donations to help support families in our community. This is a great opportunity for our children to discover the good feeling we receive when we do good things for others.
BOULDER CREEK ELEMENTARY'S HOLIDAY GIFT SHIFT!
Please mark your calendar for the annual BCE Gift Shift, on Monday December 16, 12 pm – 6 pm. We will be collecting gently used toys, books, videos, and video games; however, we do not accept clothing items. This year we would also like to have a section with items suitable for children to give to adults. Donations can be delivered to the Office at Boulder Creek Elementary the week after Thanksgiving Vacation. We will set up everything on Friday, December 13.
Then please plan to come to the Gift Shift on December 16! All families are welcome to come. Select and take home free gifts for your children and let your children possibly select something for you, or a sibling, while demonstrating the spirit of recycling. Remember, you don't have to donate to participate. Children must come with an adult, but adults don't need to come with children.
If you are interested in helping with setup, cleanup, or during the Gift Shift, contact Alissa Nolan at 338-0398 or totoros@pacbell.net.
