Students from Leadership and Service Learning are creating something amazing – 🎁🌟 a TOY DRIVE 🎁🌟 to lift childrens spirits! Mark your calendars because it's happening from Monday, April 15th, all the way through to Tuesday, April 23rd. Why, you ask? Well, we've got big dreams of spreading joy and hope to kids who have cancer. That's right, we're gathering up all sorts of wonderful toys to create something truly magical – A TOY DRIVE! Get ready to bring smiles to the faces of children who could use a little extra cheer. These toys will go to the Arkansas Children's Hospital.
So, here's how YOU can be a part of this amazing mission:
🎉 Bring in those brand-new toys to donate. IMPORTANT - Small toys like, hot wheels, small barbies, rubik's cubes, toy trolls or squishies are perfect examples of what we're looking for. Bring them to the Grimsley cafeteria and put them in the toy drive boxes.
📅 Remember, the toy drive runs from April 15th to April 23rd, so don't wait! Let's make a difference together.
Spread the word! Tell your friends, your family, your neighbors – the more, the merrier!
Let's show the world just how much kindness and generosity our school community has to offer. Together, we can make a HUGE difference in the lives of children in need.
