We are so lucky to have several opportunities to give back during this holiday season. Please talk with your family some time over this Thanksgiving weekend to see if you can donate to one of the following fundraisers we have going on at Westwood right now.
Project Mistle-Toes is led by friends of Hope Fuller that carry on her memory and effort to bring joy to kids spending their holidays in the hospital. Bring in a new pair of holiday-themed socks and drop them in the lime green laundry basket in the office. Mrs. Deering's 1st grade class is keeping track of the total number of socks we have collected on the bulletin board in the hallway.
The Westwood Food Train is a campaign every holiday season to collect non-perishable food items for Christmas Clearinghouse. These items will be distributed to families in need in the Woodstock area before the winter holidays. The Woodstock Police Explorers are helping us this year as they bring in boxes and deliver the food for us at the end of the drive. They will also have a K9 demonstration for the classroom that brings in the most food!
Our very own Emma Bremer organized a coin drive to go to the Red Cross as they help the tornado victims down in Washington, IL. We will collect coins from now until the week before winter break.
Westwood always does so much to help so many. I hope you and your family enjoy a wonderful long weekend together as we reflect on all we have to be thankful for in our lives.

Stretch yourself to come up with gratitude for something that cannot be purchased in a store. (Required: Write 1-2 sentences including a main idea and a supporting detail. Challenge: Use rich vocabulary, 10 word sentences, and 3rd level elaboration.)
