We want to extend a Big Shanty "thank you" to many people who have worked diligently with us to help 18 families have a brighter holiday!
Kennesaw First Baptist Church contributed $400 in Publix gift cards for our Thanksgiving and Winter Holiday baskets for the families. The ladies Sunday School class also made stockings for the children we helped this year.
North Star Church adopted families from our school to help during the holidays. They also prepared lunch for the Shop with a Warrior program at North Cobb High School which some of our students attended. Many Kennesaw businesses made contributions to this project so that each child received $100 to shop for family members.
Our Student Council did a fabulous job with our canned food drive. Students collected 2,838 cans! Ms. Phillips/Ms. Milton's classroom won a pizza party for collecting 272 cans!! In fact, we were able to donate our extra cans to Summit Baptist Church's food pantry.
Mike Chester, manager of Publix, also gave us a 10% discount on fresh groceries we needed for our food baskets.
Of course, we cannot thank our wonderful PTA community outreach committee enough. Shawn Morrill had Publix shoppers as well as Target and Wal-mart shoppers to make our Angel Tree gifts were complete. Thank you, Shawn!
We hope all our Angles and Elves have time to slow down and enjoy the holidays!
