8th Grade Service Learning




The eighth grader is taking part in a service learning opportunity and needs your help! This month they are working with a local organization called Survive the Streets. Survive the Streets is a non-profit organization that helps homeless people in Seattle by giving them warm gear and clothing to help them "Survive the Streets" during the cold winter months. What they will be doing to help this program is holding a gear donation drive here at Westside. During the month of November they will be collecting the following gear:
·         Sleeping bags
·         Backpacks and duffle bags
·         Large men’s coats (extra large is the most needed size)
·         New socks
·         Gloves

Although they appreciate that you may have other items to donate, they are asking that you limit your donations to the items above.


Donation bins can be found at the front entrance and down by the library.  All donations must be collected by Tuesday, November 26th.
