Come join us! Background Check and Online Training
Annual Toy Drive with some edits
Dec. 1-Dec. 13, Upper and Lower School foyers
For the past few years, our school families have supported SA Hope by collecting toys for the holidays. Their organization provides needy families with support all year long, including during the gifting season.
This year, SA Hope is under construction for a new building and doesn't currently have space for a full toy closet or food pantry. Instead, they're kindly asking for gift cards in any amount to buy food or toys. They'll distribute the gift cards this year to those who need the assistance.
If you'd like to participate, please bring the gift cards directly to the boxes in the foyer. Teachers will not collect the cards, and we don't wish there to be any opportunity for the cards to be lost or taken from backpacks.
Upper School Board Game Night
Dec. 8, 7-9PM, Upper School Gym
RSVP Here and sign up to bring milk or a favorite cereal
All Upper School scholars are welcome! No experience required. Board and card games including strategy, cooperative, dexterity, and party games will be taught, or feel free to bring your own favorites to share with the group!
Don't forget to bring your favorite cereal to share!
Lower School Service Project
Children's Hunger Fund, Children Helping Children
Dec. 16, 9AM, Lower School MPR
Sign Up here for food items needed
Once the semester draws to an end, let's shift our hearts and minds into the Season of Giving with a project to help others. Bring your Lower School scholars to the MPR to pack boxes of nonperishable food for the Children's Hunger Fund. These boxes of food are distributed throughout San Antonio all year long.
Please sign up on the SignUp Genius to contribute items from the list. The Children's Hunger Fund has exact items needed for each box. They love to create opportunities for children to help other children.
