Donations

Dear Maplewood Families,

Thanksgiving and the December Holidays will be here before we know it! We count on your generous donations to help make the holidays a little brighter for those who are experiencing financial hardship. It is a time for our students to reflect on all they have to be thankful for and share what they have with those less fortunate. In years past, our school has collected food items to help out community families in need. Last year we did things a bit differently and it was so successful, we decided to do it again.

Beginning October 25th-November 17th, we are challenging each class to raise a minimum of $25, which is about $1 per student!! “Dollar for the Holidays”

(If any money remains after the holidays, it may be used towards school supplies and any other item needed by our families.)

Additionally, we will be accepting cash, food gift cards, as well as electronic donations via GiveButter this year from October 25 through November 17, any amount is greatly appreciated.

Please send electronic donations
