Last year during the holidays, 70 families (over 184 kids) were adopted within the Douglas County community. These families came from Renaissance Expeditionary Outward Bound Magnet School, Fox Creek Elementary, Pine Lane Elementary, and Prairie Crossing Elementary. These families received clothing gifts for each family member and toys for each child. The program was very successful, and the families that were adopted were grateful and appreciative of the kindness and support of the Douglas County community.
This is the 9th year Prairie Crossing has participated in this program. Fourth grade would like to be a part of this community service building activity, and you are welcome to participate. We, as a grade level, will be adopting one family. Please visit the Bring It sheet to sign up for a gift if your family wishes to participate. Once you've purchased the gift, please wrap it, put a sticky note on it with the letter/number code listed on the Bring It sheet (ex. C4e), and send it in to your child's teacher. All wrapped/coded gifts need to be at school by December 8th.
**Also, because of the sheer number of families that Alison Armour (the school social worker organizing this outreach) has, she'd rather our class not go beyond what is asked, but rather have parents that want to give more, contact her (719-232-7803), and you can help another family. Sending in gift cards is another option. She always needs gift cards for food. King Soopers is best, but she will take Target and Walmart as well. She first uses gift cards to make sure all families in our community have been adopted. Then extra gift cards are used for food for the families. Anything extra is used throughout the year for those families that come to us in crisis.*
