Early Release Service Project
Hello Parents!
Something that is near and dear to my heart is service work. I believe that our communities and society benefit when people of all generations work to help each other out.
This is the first big service project that I have done with a class. Mrs. Deter’s class is doing this as well and I love the idea of serving and giving back.
Blankets for a local nursing home
On our last Early Release before Holiday Break, December 13, I would like to transform our classroom into a team of community helpers.
I would like to have students work in small groups to create no-sew tie fleece blankets and holiday cards to donate to the residents.
How can you help make this happen?
- Donate Blanket Materials!
- 5′ x 4.5′ cuts of fleece from any fabric store
- Monetary donations that I will use to purchase fleece. I have a Venmo account (@Karman-Houtstra) if that is easiest for you. I will also take cash donations.
- Invite friends and family to make monetary or 5′ x 4.5′ fleece donations
- Donate Card Making Materials!
- Fun cardstock
- Stickers
- Stamps/ink pads
- Come distribute them with me!
- The date of delivery is TBA. I will let you know as soon as possible.
- Bring your student and/or family along to hand out cards, blankets, hugs, and smiles to warm our community members’ holiday season!
