CRS PTA Community Service -- 2008-09 Projects
Mark your calendars now to participate with your child in this year's community service activities. Parent and student volunteers are vital to the success of these projects. This year's events include sandwich-making for the hungry and homeless served by Martha's Table in Washington, DC; the Thanksgiving grocery gift card drive, book fair drive and holiday gift drive to benefit families at our buddy school, Dogwood Elementary in Reston; and a spring drive to support SHARE, which assists the needy in Northern Virginia. Here are the dates of these scheduled activities:
| October 8, 2008 | Martha's Table Sandwich Making, Grades 1 & 6 | |
| November 13-20, 2008 | Thanksgiving Grocery Gift Card Drive for Dogwood | |
| November 19-21, 2008 | Dogwood Book Drive at the CRS Book Fair | |

There are many ways your family can participate, such as donating food for sandwich making and the SHARE drive, helping to make sandwiches after school, and collecting, sorting, and delivering holiday gifts for families at our buddy school. As these events draw closer we'll be seeking volunteers. Look for more information throughout the school year in the Churchill Chatter and your child's VIP folder. Your time, attention, and enthusiasm are greatly appreciated!
