BCS 3/4 CLASSROOM WINTER PARTY PROJECT
We are very excited to announce that all 3/4 classrooms will be taking part in a project benefiting the Pediatric Department at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. We are hoping that this will help reinforce the spirit of giving for our children this holiday season.
The classroom will make a Gingerbread Chain that will be hung in the Pediatric Department. These 8 chains will help brighten the hallways for the children.
The students are invited to bring in one of the following UNWRAPPED gifts to their Winter Party. These OPTIONAL gifts will be collected and donated to the hospital. Prizes and gifts are an ongoing need in the Pediatric Department. They are used for prizes for pokes and medical procedures, birthdays and end of chemotherapy. (Note – this list is the department’s recommendations and what they need most). . .
