St. Brigid's Adopt A Family Program December 2009

Help a Family in Need This Christmas Season!

Each Christmas season, families who are part of our St. Brigid’s School Community, are in need of assistance to make their Christmas memorable and meaningful. As a Christian community, I would like to offer our entire St. Brigid’s community the opportunity to help families in need this Christmas season through our “adopt a family” program. Please consider thoughtfully, how you and your family may help. We are seeking monetary donations and adult volunteers to purchase gifts. Here’s how the “adopt a family” program works:

· Interested staff and families of students in the St. Brigid’s School Community fill out the form below and return it, along with a check (made out to SBRCS Adopt A Family) or gift card, to your child’s teacher by Wednesday, November 18th;
· I will identify families in need within our school community and obtain a list of their Christmas needs and wishes;
· Volunteer shoppers will be given a list of a family’s needs and an amount they can spend based on what has been donated;
· The gifts will be brought to school and wrapped by students in 5-8th grades, then I will deliver the gifts to the families;
· You bask in the glow of giving to a family in need!

I know each and every one of you has other commitments this Christmas season and I appreciate your considering helping others in need. If you have questions about the program, please contact Beth Capitula at 274-2964 or aerobeth@nycap.rr.com.

God Bless You,
Ralph Provenza, Principal
