| Caring and Sharing Holiday Gift Drive |
The Caring and Sharing Holiday gift drive is set to begin on Monday
December 1, 2008! Laurel families can help provide gifts for other
families in our school community through online donations, cash or check contributions (which should be made payable
to Laurel PTO and can be delivered to the school office) or by adopting
a family and shopping for their needs.
Beginning Wednesday, December
3, 2008, look for the "giving tree" located in the school office and choose
an "ornament" which will outline what specific families need for the
holidays. Toys and Items purchased, as well as wrapping paper can be
left in the giving boxes in front of the school. Questions, please
contact Peckie Peters, Caring and Sharing Committee at 321-2423 or peckye( at )comcast.net.

Thank you!
|
Many thanks to all the families and volunteers who helped make the
Thanksgiving Food Drives so successful. Thanks to your generosity we
were able to provide a number of families with gift cards to purchase a
holiday meal and we also delivered a substantial amount of canned food
to Second Harvest Food Bank!

Holiday Trees & Wreaths
It's that time of year and once again Honey Bear Trees on Woodside Road in Redwood City has generously offered to donate 15% of all Holiday Tree and Wreath sales to the Laurel and Encinal PTOs. Their trees really are fresh and beautiful, so if you haven't been there before it's worth a stop. To ensure the school gets credit, bring your flyer with you or ask for one at checkout. Happy Holidays! |
