Student Council Toy Drive
Dear parents,
The ES Student Council is having a
Holiday Toy Drive!
Gently used toys, books, or games
will be collected and donated to a
local orphanage who could use
some cheer.
So, if your child has a few toys or
even one toy that is gently used, please ask him or her to bring it to the
donation box located in their homeroom.
The toy drive will begin Dec 10th and
end on December 21, so please look at home for some toys, games, or books that
you don’t use anymore and make a child happy!
Thank you!
Happy Holidays,
The ES Student Council
Have a wonderful weekend!
Keryn Dowling, Dave Allen, and Calley Connelly
