WHO WANTS TO THROW A PIE IN MY FACE???
Hello MSB Parents,
My class has the opportunity to help out an amazing cause, lead by one of our very own parents, Barry Cooper. Barry is calling this project "Provisions for People". This project is to assist the hundreds of homeless citizens of our very own town. The goal is to create a bag of provisions that can be easily handed to a person in need of help.
It starts with a 2 gallon size bag. Each 2 gallon bag contains the following items:
A warm pair of socks, a toboggan(hat), 1 washcloth, toothbrush/toothpaste, deodorant, bar of soap, shampoo, 1 comb, Chapstick, flashlight/batteries, hot hands, antibacterial wipes, bottle of water, applesauce/spoon, beef jerky, granola bar, cheese/crackers, peanut butter/crackers, tuna salad/crackers, pack of gum and some hard candy. Our goal is to have 50 of these ready by the 26th for us to put in the officer's cars that night. Each bag is roughly $12 for the items. They could also be tailored to include note cards with encouragement/scripture, gift cards to McDonalds etc. The bags can be made gender specific with the hygiene items as well.

Our class goal is FIFTY bags. I have 23 students, so if each child can create 2 bags then we will have 46...I will cover the extra four myself to reach the goal. During the can food drive, we did not reach the goal to celebrate with Pies in my face, so we can try that AGAIN! If we get 50 bags by Tuesday Jan. 26th, then every student that brings 2 bags can throw a pie in my face! I will announce this to the class tomorrow; I know they will be excited! This is a great opportunity to teach them about helping others in our community!
If any students in other classes would like to help and bring 2 bags, I am sure their teachers wouldn't mind if they got to throw a PIE in my face as well! smile emoticon
