Military package

I apolgize for the delay. Here is a messsage from one of the parents in our class who would like to help out some of our military. The students will be making cards, and possibly writing some nice letters in class.

Hi,

I know ASE is collecting foods for this month for the needy.  In addition, our family was wondering if you thought it would be nice of the 2nd graders to send a little care package to the military. Our family has a family friend that enlisted this summer in the Air Force, Special Forces, Paratrooper-so, I would be willing to mail the items,etc to him and the other members of his troop- in honor of Veteran's Day and "generosity".  I was reflecting on how much even a piece of gum can really lift your spirits on a challenging day. I would like to send gum (stick together) and candy bars (the military is so generous with courage), or anything else that others would deem helpful. If you would like to forward this email, or parts of it, to other families, that would be appreciated. I would like to send the package out by next Friday, so arrives by Thanksgiving.

Thanks,

Maria White

If you would like to send stuff in with your child, I will make sure that it gets to Mrs. White. Please send items in no later than Monday November 29th. This will help Mrs. White put together a package for the December holidays. The post office has some very specific mailing times.
