As Great Hearted scholars and families we enjoy showing kindness and generosity to others through our annual service project. This year we will participate by partnering with A New Leaf. Last year A New Leaf served 21,140 individuals with resources, including homeless and domestic violence shelters with services, affordable housing solutions, behavioral health, foster care, counseling, financial literacy coaching, and basic needs. To lend a helping hand to the families served by A New Leaf, we will be collecting various goods that the organization is in desperate need of. Each grade level will have a specific goods or supplies to collect; this allows us to cater to many needed items.
See below for our grade level’s list of items. Please ensure that all donations are brand new, as gently used items cannot be accepted.
Kindergarten: canned food, baby food, condiments (jarred, canned, and bottled food items)
First Grade: bath towels and washcloths
Second Grade: twin sheets and pillow cases
Third Grade: kitchen supplies (silverware, pots/pans, cooking tools)
Fourth Grade: paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, paper plates, plastic cups)
Fifth Grade: snack food, cereal, granola bars, instant rice (boxed foods)
During the week of Great Hearts Day (Feb. 8-11), our students will be asked to bring in items to contribute to our donations list. The drive will conclude on Great Hearts Day (Feb. 11), where total counts of the donated items will be shared and celebrated at the morning assembly. We look forward to seeing the generosity and kindness fill our hearts and rooms with supplies that are greatly appreciated by the families at A New Leaf! If you have any further questions regarding the supply requirements, please do not hesitate to ask!
