I have received a few questions about what else you can do for families at Wilshire Park who are in need. Each year there are some families who cannot afford proper winter gear to go outside for recess. This year I wrote down the sizes and preferred colors for students who could use new winter clothes. Instead of giving them gently used jackets and snow pants, we are first going to put the option out there for WP staff and parents to possibly buy a new item needed for these students. The list will be on the volunteer table in the office so if you are interested please just write your name next to the item (sizes and preferred color is noted) you are willing to purchase.
Please bring the item to school no later than next Wednesday, November 3 so these students can get these items before it gets really cold out. Sounds like Winter could be right around the corner with possible snow this week, yikes!
Thank you for your willingness to help out families in need! I am always so impressed by the Wilshire Park community when I see how they step up to help anyone out.
Thanks again for all that you do!
