Service Project

Daybreak Shelter on Walnut Street in downtown Macon will have a reading area open to local homeless people for one day a week starting on Monday, February 20th.
Below are some of the supplies needed. A donation box will be located in the TSA Cafe. You may also email Sister Elizabeth Greim at daybreak.macon@gmail.com, and she will coordinate with you where you can drop off larger items.

Rugs
Book Cases
Floor Lamps
Coffee Tables
Comfortable Chairs
Magazines
Board Games
Art Supplies (sketch paper, pencil, pens, and markers)
Coffee Mugs
Toilet Paper
Paper Towels
Hand Sanitizer
Coffee, filters, stirrers, cream, sugar
Lemonade
Snack items (like chips, fresh fruits, but no pastries or cupcakes)

Sister Elizabeth Greim, director of Daybreak, said the shelter's reading area will be much like a living room area, where homeless people can grab a cup of coffee, read a magazine or play games for a couple of hours during the afternoon.

This is just one part of the services that they plan to provide. They are going to be renovating the entire building on Walnut Street where they will have job-hunting, medical and mental health services for homeless people. While many of the services are not yet in place, they wanted to start helping people right away.

If you were not able to attend the Trojan Legion meeting last night and pick up your child's progress report, I will be putting it in your child's Friday Folder! With so much going on this week, I feel this is the safest place!

Soldier Care Package Items Are Due Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011!

(There was a red letter in your child's Friday Folder about this project from Mrs. Mallett!)

Each child is to bring his/her items to school, along with $3.00 for shipping and handling, on THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15th. On Thursday afternoon, students will be placed in groups. They will combine their donated items to be assembled into a care package to be mailed to an American soldier. Our goal is to provide 75 boxes. Boxes and all packaging items are being supplied by the school. We ask that you prayerfully consider your donations and have fun with your children shopping for this very important project.

Thursday is also Class Color Day!  Third Grade is red!
