At Ida Burns, December’s character focus is “Unlocking Our Best Selves.” To show caring in action, our students are decorating “giving trees” with donated items for two local charities: Wampus Cat Food Pantry and Conway Cradle Care.
We’d love your help! Please send in any of the needed items by December 19th:
Wampus Cat Food Pantry: canned goods, pasta, rice, jerky, crackers, cereal, and other nonperishables.
Conway Cradle Care: baby bath items, shampoo, washcloths, towels, diapers, wipes, cleaning supplies, and snacks.
Let’s work together to help our students unlock their best selves through kindness and giving! 💙🌟
