    Ok this is how this is going to work. We have to do this quietly.




    14 children need a Christmas...

    There are 5 girls and 9 boys, all age 7 or 8.

    1. Buy items on your own. It can be a combination of toys, necessities, and snacks. Totally your choice of what you’d want to include. I’m thinking around $20, but what you spend is up to you. OR

    2. Buy 14 of any item so we can give one of each to each child. For example, 14 pair of socks, 14 bags of candy, 14 notebooks, 14 decks of cards, etc. School supplies work too. OR

    3. Give a cash donation and we can purchase items on our own.

    You have my word I will save every receipt and show you exactly what we purchased.

    Every penny will go towards the kids.

    Biggest concern are socks, hats, gloves, paper and pens, pencils.

    Many don't have warm clothing like sweaters or sweatshirts.

    Items like coloring books and crayons, games are good. Stuff the kids can play with and share with siblings.

    Let the elves know that Hoodie Sweatshirts have been purchased for all 14 kids - the elves should cross “hoodie sweatshirts” OFF THE LIST and concentrate on other items.

    Dear Community

    Would you like to spread some holiday cheer to a wonderful group of students?

    I'm a third grade teacher at buffalo Public School #59. I have seen firsthand how this pandemic has affected families. With the support of my administration, a group of my family and friends have decided to adopt all fourteen families in my class. This amounts to 67 children. Amazing right? But, I need your help. I'm looking for people to donate new, unused, toys, hats, gloves, art supplies, school supplies, family games, headphones, cloths, coats, socks, sporting equipment, and anything else children ages 0 to 16 would like. Hopefully, we can work together as a community to make their holidays bright!

    Please contact Kitty Hull (716) 308-5724 or email me at khull@buffaloschools.org for more information.

    Sincerely,

    Kitty Hull
