WHITE CHRISTMAS DRIVE NOVEMBER 26 * 30th During the 1930’s the United States was suffering through a drastic economic depression. Several Arcadia School teachers noticed students in their classes who were malnourished and under clothed. They decided to do something about it and began collecting canned foods, dry goods and even small toys and clothes for their students and their families. They decided to wrap the items in plain white paper and present them as gifts. Today the program still exists under the direction of the Arcadia PTSA and the local Arcadia Welfare and Thrift store located at 323 North First Avenue. During the week of November 26th * 30th we will be accepting dry goods, canned food items, new unwrapped toys and monetary donations. Please participate in this long standing tradition and make a difference in your community. All the items are given to our local families in need. Don’t forget them.
SCRIP/GIFT CARDS FOR SALE ....

>From November 26th to December 14th, the classroom that will sell the most GIFT CARDS/SCRIP (Per Student) will be treated to a pizza party!
Remember, gift cards make great holiday presents for teachers, co-workers, friends, and family. Ordering your holiday gift cards from Holly Avenue makes shopping easy for you and earns money for our school! There is absolutely no charge to you. The stores share some of their profits with us with the purchase of each card. Check out your child's homework folder next week to find our new flyer. Or you contact cjogmina@ausd.net for a copy.
