Hello Crestwood-
We are entering our FINAL WEEK for our Crestwood Cares Program (it ends December 6th). We have raised almost $700 and the Giving Tree donation sign-up is filling up.
Our final collection date is Friday December 6th which is DECADES Day. Pick your favorite decade (50s?, 80s?) and dress like it. We will collect any spare change you have around the house or that money that kids have earned! A donation is not necessary to participate.
Fifth grade is STILL in the lead so far with $149 dollars in donations, but kindergarten is right behind them with $128. The winning grade will get an extra recess from the counselors.
We are sponsoring 13 families this year and the gift cards on the sign up have been requested specifically to fit the needs of each family.
If you'd like to donate, please sign up on the Giving Tree link HERE. Send in your gift card to the main office in an envelope marked "Giving Tree" by December 9th.
Thank you so much for your generosity-we appreciate it!
