Dear 11th Grade Parents, 

Here is a note that the PBS clerks have asked us to forward.  It looks like the event will be a great success as volunteer sign-ups are almost completely filled and we anticipate that additional people will attend.  We now need to make sure that they have all of the requisite supplies and donations!  They still need quite a few items across all categories.   

 

MLK Service Day is this Monday—Food and Toiletry Items Still Needed!

Dear Friends,

We are honored and humbled by the outpouring of support for MLK Service Day and would like to thank all of those who have volunteered to attend or to donate supplies.  To ensure the success of this event, however, we need to make sure that we have enough supplies for our hardworking volunteers.   We are still in need of both food and toiletry donations for each of the service activities.   Please take a moment to sign up to donate any of these items by clicking the MLK Service Day Sign Up <http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e084da4ae28a0f49-sfsmlk/939945> .   We just ask that you drop off these items in the boxes outside of the Dean of Students’ Office in the Upper School or the Front Desk in the Middle School by Friday, January 14.  

Please also sign up to volunteer for one of the service activities if you know that you will be attending.  While we welcome last-minute attendees, we are trying to get a general idea of the number of volunteers so that we can adjust the quantities of supplies as needed.  

As a reminder, we will gather from 9:00 a.m. -12:30 p.m. on Monday, January 18, in the Robert L. Smith Meeting Room.  Following a brief query-centered discussion with a panel of alumni speakers, SFS volunteers will choose to participate in one of the available service events: (1) Bake Casseroles for Central Union Mission in the Upper School Dining Room 2) Work with the Boys and Girls Club at American University to make cards and toiletry packets for Veterans, or (3) Create Healthy Snack Bagsfor N Street Village Day Center in the Upper School Dining Room.  Afterward, we will regroup for a short time of reflection in the Meeting Room before closing with a moment of silence.

Thank you again for all of your support. 

All the Best,

Georgine Newman-Alawode

MS PBS Clerk
