Monday,
December 14th Swags 4-5
parent volunteers are needed: We
are making greenery swags wrapped in ribbon. We need donations for Monday only (so that the
greenery stays fresh) of cedar branches, holly, salal, pine or fir branches
that anyone has on their property that you could spare. It takes quite a bit of
greenery to make a swag & we need to make 22. Donations of wire &
ribbon is also needed. If any parent volunteers have any extra pruning shears
that they could bring to help trim the branches that would be terrific! Please sign
up if you can donate branches/wire/ribbon and/or volunteer as a helper. This
activity will take place on Monday morning at 10am. Sign Up Genius Link for this activity: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e084dafad2aa5f49-christmas1
