SLC – The Service Learning Committee is pleased to offer an opportunity for PD families to help our neighbors in need this holiday season! We are excited to partner once again with Sharing Connections! We are hosting a Holiday toy Drive for 5-9 year olds struggling with poverty. Some ideas for toys include: Lego sets, ethnically diverse dolls/Barbies, walkie-talkies, remote control toys, sports items, light up dance mat, and action figures. You can find more ideas on their Amazon wish list. (They are requesting new, unwrapped toys.) Sharing Connections is glad to receive multiples of the same toy, and $25 gift cards to Walmart and Target are welcome as well. The Toy Drive will run from now until Thursday, December 10th. Please consider how your family can help, and drop off your donations on the front porch of the Amidei’s house at 4941 Cornell Ave. Any questions, please contact Jennie at jenamidei@gmail.com or Carin at carinhawkins@yahoo.com. Thank you!
PD Yearbook – Even though the Pierce Downer Yearbook won’t be out for months, now is the time to get photos of the children for inclusion in the yearbook. Don’t forget to add your photos to our Google Drive below. As a reminder, we ask that you send any pictures you may have of the students outside of the school or remote learning from your home. The more pictures we collect early and often, the more we have to choose from when the time comes to lay out the yearbook! Please contact our yearbook chair, Karen Mellen, directly with any questions or with photos karenmellen@yahoo.com.
If you have photos, please go ahead upload directly to a folder on the Google Shared Drive that was set up for this:
