Swenke is continuing our tradition of providing gifts for less fortunate students at Lieder Elementary (another school in our district) for the holiday season. Each homeroom is collecting cash donations for one child from this school.
If your family chooses to participate in the gift-giving process for this family, please do the following:
- Discuss with your child the donation process and how this donation will help someone less fortunate during this holiday season.
- Send in any amount (cash only) that is comfortable for your family to give in a sealed envelope, addressed to your child’s homeroom teacher.
- All donations are due by December 4.
Once donations are received, a minimum of four gifts will be purchased for the child each homeroom is assisting:
- Something s/he wants
- Something s/he needs
- Something to wear
- Something to read! 😊
These gifts will then be delivered to Lieder Elementary School. Each year, the families of Lieder have been extremely touched by the generosity of the families at Swenke and have expressed much gratitude for their children being able to experience the holiday season in a way they would not otherwise.
Each homeroom class is doing this on a voluntary basis, so please do not feel any obligation. If you do choose to participate, we sincerely appreciate it and thank you in advance.
