We were inspired by Kid President<\/a> and our virtue of generosity to give this month.<\/p>\n

1) We sponsored a toy drive! All our toys were donated to the Salvation Army<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Ms. Gil’s class who helped us collect all the toys!<\/p><\/div>\n

2) We collected supplies for the Lookout Society<\/a>. They provide assistance to the homeless on the downtown east side of Vancouver.<\/p>\n

Homelessness happens year-round. Donations can be made throughout the year!<\/p>\n

3) Knitting! We took on the task of knitting scarves for the homeless. We will also donate these to the Lookout Society!<\/p>\n

This would not have been possible without the huge donation of yarn from sweetgeorgia yarns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to the sweetgeorgia crew who stayed at work late to help me choose yarns, who wound the yarn into kid friendly balls and who supplied us with extra boxes for our toy drive!<\/p>\n

the one who receives,<\/p>\n

and the gift itself.”<\/p>\n
