The PTO is sponsoring a Teacher/Staff Gift Wrap Event. We are asking parents

and guardians to donate gift wrapping supplies and their time to come into

the school to help wrap presents that the staff members have bought for their

family and friends. This is a way for the PTO to show the teachers their ap-

preciation by saving them time and money for their gift wrapping. If you are

able to donate either your time to help wrap gifts on December 10th and/

or December 15th or gift wrapping supplies, please click on this link to sign up

through VolunteerSpot @ http://vols.pt/zED24j. If you have any questions

about this event, please contact Bev Hebrink at hebrink_beverly@svvsd.org.

Thank you in advance for your help!

The National Junior Honor Society will be selling Candy Cane

Grams starting Wednesday, December 3rd-December 12th. Send

your friends, teachers, and staff members a candy cane to say

you appreciate them for $0.75 cents a candy cane, or buy 5 for

During the last week before winter break, student volunteers and the NJHS will be selling Beads for Life jewelry and handmade items in the cafetorium during all lunches. The dates will be Dec. 15th through Dec 19th. All sales profits will help impoverished women in Uganda support their families through bead making. Additionally, this sale will help our Erie community by donating part of the profits to Erie Uplink, a local organization that helps Erie families in need Items are beautiful and colorful, and each is one-of-a-kind, since each bead is handmade by these creative Ugandan women. Come and get your Christmas shopping done Dec. 15th-Dec 19th!! Any questions, email Mrs. Kate Kemp.
