SVDH offers day-care/pre-school/kindergarten programs which serve and support working families with economic challenges.
To “adopt” a family means each class (approximately 25 students) will collect/donate two boxes of household essential staples (such as toilet paper, paper towels, soap, laundry detergent, basket basket) and at least one gift for each member of the family, parents included. Gift cards for groceries will also be collected. Each class decides who will bring in which items.
We need all items to be brought to Period 5 homerooms by Tuesday morning, December 5. Delivery to SVDH will be on Wednesday morning, December 6.
A huge THANK YOU to the whole O’Dowd community for all the ways you have offered support.
