WPE Holiday Project December 2nd-4th
Every December the Wattles Park Elementary community partners with Harper Creek High School to provide gifts for families in our community. The gifts are combined with food and other needed items to make the holiday season more merry for these families. Our gift collection will be December 2nd-4th. The gifts should be new and unwrapped. Many families have used this annual event as an opportunity to teach their children about giving to others who need our help. This event also fits with one of Wattles Park's core beliefs, which is to "encourage kindness" to those around us. As a thank you, our food service team puts together a special breakfast for the students on December 4th. Below you will see the items that have been requested:
