Weather All Around (Unit): Sandy 

After leaving a path of destruction in Caribbean, Superstorm Sandy hit the northeast on Monday, flooding homes, tunnels, parking lots, subways, and much more. Many lost power, and wind and falling trees further damaged property. Our class has been tracking Sandy for over a week (via weather.com - video, images, and forecasts). Students were affected by the visuals of devastation resulting from this superstorm. If you'd like to help, visit 7 Ways to Help Victims of Superstorm Sandy Online for ideas. The Red Cross is also accepting donations to those affected by Sandy through Apple’s iTunes store.

Please remember to send healthy snacks. Also, remember not send snacks with peanut butter or peanuts, because one student is allergic. We will shift to a new rotation on September 3.

Let's Support the Kindergarten Food Canned-Food Drive:

 

One of our biggest supporters of the our Winter Fundraising efforts was Kindergarten. It's time for us to support their community outreach activity. The last day to send in cans for the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) is Friday morning, January 13, 2012. Our goal is to collect 100 cans. As the time of the post we have only collected 17. If you are able to help, every student bringing in 5 cans would help us reach our goal. Thanks to all who have already donated.

ACFB supports a wide range of people in need, from children to the working poor. Food pantries, community kitchens, childcare centers, night shelters and senior centers are among the agencies that receive product from the Food Bank and provide food and other critical resources for low-income Georgians who suffer from hunger and food insecurity. The Food Bank also operates several community projects to aid our agencies in community building, technical assistance and advocacy efforts.

A HUGE Thank You:

Thanks to all families for recent classroom supplies donations, holiday gifts, and well-wishes during my recent bout with illness!!!!!! I am thankful to have such supportive parents!!
