Helping Hands - First Grade - Tuesday, February 7th
Center School Helping Hands is a school-wide effort that provides our students an opportunity to work as grade level teams to make a difference by making sandwiches to help feed the hungry. Helping Hands is a collective endeavor that depends on the generosity of our Peace Builders community; and we anticipate another successful year!
 
WHAT TO BRING:
Each family may voluntarily send in with your child sandwich meat, cheese, and bread to make sandwiches on their designated day. We suggest 1lb. meat; ½ lb. cheese; two loaves of bread, although any donated amount is appreciated. The number of sandwiches delivered each month will depend on donations.
 
WHO MAY COME:
Siblings are more than welcome to make sandwiches too. For example, this month will be with 1st graders. If you have a 1st grader and a 3rd grader, feel free to send the 3rd grader to help. The more helping hands the better!!
