YMCA Holiday Giving Program

In the spirit of giving, each classroom at Mark Twain has adopted a child from the YMCA “wish tree” to help needy children that live at the Royale and Oaks Apartments on Bissonet have a happier holiday.

Our child this year is a 6 year old girl. Her needs are clothes, shoes and toys. She has many of the wishes that our own boys and girls have this year…which include a bike and arts and crafts supplies. She also mentioned she would like a Dora or Bratz doll. If you can help, I ask that you buy an item of clothing and a small cash donation.

This is VERY short notice… I will be collecting money until Friday, December 12th to help purchase the items she wishes for. The deadline for bringing clothes will be the same day. I was given her sizes… 5/6 clothes and size 11 shoes. I will be purchasing the toys over the weekend and bring them to class to show the students on Monday before we hand deliver them to the YMCA!

Our lives are truly blessed and we will be discussing the true meaning of the season…which is giving.
