Students will be collecting items that are needed for kids just like them who come into the emergency department. There is a great need for several items. We will be collecting:

• coloring books

• crayons/markers

• New underwear in various sizes

• New socks

If you are able to, please consider donating and asking your family and friends to donate. Representatives from the hospital will be coming to our school on November 22nd to accept the donations. They will also be doing a demonstration for the kids.
