PLEASE HELP OUT THE KIDS AT PAPPAS, Assignments for Tuesday, and HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This is a special announcement. As you are aware, our upper classmen have been tutoring students at Thomas Pappas this semester. These are young children whose families literally do not know where they will be sleeping from one night to the next.

We would like to devote our annual food and clothes/gift drive to these students.

PLEASE HELP OUT.

Any food (canned or boxed preferably) would be a GOD send. Any old clothes that do not fit or old toys that students do not play with. Even money so we can get kids toys or clothes.

PLEASE HELP OUT.

We know that from past experience that our students and families have risen to the occasion. Lets do it again and make these children a little happier and less stressful.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
