Community Service-supported Holiday Gift Drive.
Final Days for SFS Holiday Gift Giving.....

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who in the last two weeks have dropped off gifts and wrapping paper for our partner organizations, the Rosemount Center and Martha's Table. The gifts collected by Friday December 10 will be delivered by this weekend. There will be a one time only curbside collection at tomorrow (Friday) morning's drop-off starting 7:30 am through 8:15 am in the garage.

To accommodate the families who have indicated that they would need this weekend to do their gift shopping, students from the US Community Service Club have kindly offered to deliver any gifts dropped off next week. If you are shopping for gifts this weekend, please consider gift cards and diapers as possible donations.  Please drop your gifts off underneath the Holiday Tree in the lower level of the Library. If you are donating gift cards, please drop-off with David Connell in Room 222.  All gifts must be dropped off by Tuesday December 14, no later PLEASE!

School's suggested gift-giving policy:

In keeping with the simplicity of gift giving at this time of year, we ask families to consider the school's policy.  From the Parent-Student Handbook,

GIFTS
Students and parents often wish to give presents to their teachers. The School requests that the ideals of Quaker simplicity and meaningfulness govern the choice of gifts. They should be presented before or after the school day.
