The staff and students at Cedar Hill School would like to help needy children in the tri-state area with “Holidays for Children”. As part of this effort each class will sponsor a child supplied to us by a local organization that serves as a clearinghouse for various social service agencies.

Each class will be provided with a written profile of a child and his/her holiday wish list which includes something they want, something they need, and something educational. We encourage each student to bring in a voluntary donation of his or her own money. This could be money saved in a piggy bank, earned by doing some extra chores around the house, or earned by doing a special job for family and friends. No donation is too small; we wish to offer Cedar Hill children the opportunity to help someone using their own funds.

Once all donations are collected, each class will work together with a parent volunteer from the class to purchase the items on the shopping list. Each child who is sponsored will get a specific amount of money towards his/her wish list. If a class collects more than this predetermined amount, our generous Cedar Hill Community will be able to make the holiday even brighter and sponsor additional children!

Please send your child’s donation to school in an envelope marked “Holidays for Children” between Monday, October 31st and Monday, November 14th.
