Drop Off Holiday Gift Drive Items by December 9This holiday season we are excited to launch our 3rd Annual Holiday Gift Drive program to fulfill wishes for children in need. Last year, our PH community responded so generously to the gift drive and we’re looking forward to making this an annual tradition! We are partnering again with Project Just Because in Hopkinton, MA and the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families (DCF) office in Framingham, MA. The winter holiday season is a time of year that lends itself so well to teaching our children about the value of giving to others. There are many local families that need our support, particularly during this time. Specific lists were provided for 15 children from Project Just Because and DCF is looking to build a closet for teenagers who enter foster care on an emergency basis. If your family is able to help this year, we thank you. Thank you to everyone who has donated already! Please drop off your items to the Pine Hill Lobby by Friday afternoon, December 9. You can still donate NEW clothes, books, toys, toiletries even if you did not sign up. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to Royale (Royale.Abrams@gmail.com) or Joanna (joannassanborn@gmail.com). |

Collection deadline: Friday, December 9 Where: There will be a donation bin in the Pine Hill lobby Important: We ask that you clearly label the gifts: DCF or Child #__
FAQ:
Should I wrap the gifts? No. Please leave gifts unwrapped, but the agencies have asked for wrapping paper this year so families wrap the gifts themselves. Can I donate gently used items? No. Please only donate new items, or we strongly encourage re-gifting of unused items! How many items can I sign up for? As many as you want! Is there a greater need for certain items? The teens tend to get less presents, so don’t forget about them!

Performance by David CoffinExploring the Early WindsThe third grade class was treated to a terrific program "Music From The King's Court" by accomplished musician, David Coffin (more information). He introduced these young recorder students to the earliest wind instruments, starting with the Ocarina and Gemshorns, from the smallest soprano to the low great bass. David also demonstrated through the everyday objects of a water bottle and a straw that controlling vibration is the key to playing any instrument well! THANK YOU PARENTS!This program was sponsored by Enrichment and would not be possible without your contributions to the CSA.

On behalf of Sherborn's Sustainability Department, I would like to invite you to fill out this survey for weighing in with your ideas, concerns, and priorities for this collectively developed action plan: https://bit.ly/sherbornCARP. Complete the survey by Friday, December 16. By partaking in this survey, you will have the opportunity to help identify 10-15 priority actions for reducing GHG emissions and vulnerabilities concerning Sherborn’s unique ecological resources, in specific the town's affected tree canopy, and deteriorating ground and surface water quality. It's time to come together to shape the future of our kids! Participants will be entered into a raffle for a $100 gift certificate for fine dining at Heritage! Yours,
Kristen Aberle (Sherborn School Committee, Sustainability Liaison) Note: Survey logo above designed by Lilly Caplan, class of 2024 |
