“Let’s Hop to It and Make a Difference”
Published by Mrs. J. Connell (Tech) February 25th, 2010 in Announcements.It’s an Easter Service Project that’s EGGstra Special
St. Joan of Arc Jr. High Girl Scouts will be collecting new items to make Easter Baskets for area children who may not otherwise receive such gifts. The baskets will be distributed through The Sharing Connections. Students may place their donations in the box outside the Tech Center between Tuesday March 2nd and Monday, March 15th, 2010.
To ensure that there will be variety in each basket, may we suggest the following:
Preschool and Kindergarten: Small items such as bibs, bottles, sipper cups, match box cars, toy jewelry, chalk, bubbles, jump ropes, puzzles, decks of cards, etc.
First and Second Grades: Stuffed animals, small dolls, action figures etc.
Third and Fourth Grades: Chapter books, puzzle books or books for young adults Fifth and Sixth Grades: Markers, colored pencils, packs of pens/pencils, etc.
Seventh Grade: Personal care items such as individually wrapped toothbrushes, toothpaste, barrettes, hair brushes, elastics, jewelry, socks, etc.
Eighth Grades: Bags of individually wrapped Easter Candy or packs of gum for the older kids. Please do not include the small foil eggs as they open too easily.
All Grades: $5-$15 gift cards from major department stores and restaurants such as Target, Best Buy, McDonalds, etc. The gift cards will be placed in the baskets for the older children. Using the Script program makes this one easy!
Cash and gift card donations are greatly appreciated! The cash will be used to purchase the baskets and items needed to balance basket contents. Please make checks out to St. Joan of Arc. Please place gift cards or checks in an envelope marked “Easter Basket Drive” and send them to the main office.
Questions??? Call Nancy Remar or Karen Bickel-Girl Scouts Organizer.
This is a collaborated effort between the SJA Girl Scouts and the many volunteers who have served this project in past years. We would like to say THANK YOU in advance for opening your hearts to help bring joy to others.
