My Tip of the Week is Actually More of Question
February 4th, 2010 by tsullivanI have a question for you this week and figured you might also be interested in the results: Does your PTO or PTA or school organize community service efforts? Food drives, hat and mitten drives, holiday presents for the needy? That kind of stuff.
I’m always impressed by the creative efforts of schools and parent groups when it comes to serving others. Would you mind sharing a quick snippet of what you do on our message boards? I bet you can get some new ideas for your own group from this thread, too.
You might also like this article we ran a while back on a knitting project for patients at a children’s hospital.
We hope to have some great new tools for you in 2010 on this front, and this early research will be a big help. Thanks in advance.

We are a Catholic school, so we have one or two service events during Advent and Lent. Some of our projects: coat drives, food drives (mostly tuna and mac & cheese), rice boxes, stockings at Christmas, left over (but still new) school supplies at the end of the year, can drives. We also have spaghetti dinners to help local shelters.
