Good morning, Warriors, this is Mr. Hawk. It’s almost time for our Toys for Tots Miracle Minute. Once you hear the jingle bells start ringing your class will have one minute to donate as much money as you can for our Toys for Tots campaign. It doesn’t matter whether each of you can donate 25 cents or $25; every little bit helps as all money collected will be used to benefit Garden Place Academy and the Denver Indian Center. Remember, the class that donates the most money today will win a doughnut party and the class that donates the most toys will win a $5 Chipotle gift card for each student. Teachers, please have the bags you were provided ready to collect money. Here we go, on 3, 1, 2, 3…

Thank you for participating in the Toys for Tots Miracle Minute! We will be sure to let you know which classes win both contests as well as the total dollar amount collected today. Remember, our toy drive goes through December 9^th and we need your help all the way through that day to reach our goal of 1000 toys. Please continue to bring toys to the Attendance Office!

Have a wonderful Wednesday Warriors!
