WINTER CLOTHING DRIVE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
St. Jude's Academy's upper school students are organizing a winter clothing drive for 50 Syrian Refugee families. We hope that you are able to participate by sending in your gently-used winter clothes. The students are mostly looking for jackets, coats, snow pants, mittens, and hats, but anything would be appreciated.
The age range of the children of the Syrian families are from 2 years old to 18 years old. The drive will be running until Friday, November 18, 2016. We will be collecting all items at the end of every school day, and students will be awarded house points for each article of clothing!
Thank you in advance for your support!
Sincerely,
St. Jude's Academy
