The holidays are just
around the corner and are a great time to help a child in need. This year
Westside is helping by running a new shoe drive for Mary’s Place. But
in order for this to happen we need YOU!
Starting next week, the
MS Student Council will be organizing a school-wide drive in order to help
support Mary's Place. Mary's Place is a homeless day shelter for women and
children that also provides basic needs and services. In years past we have
successfully run many drives and completed all sorts of service work to
contribute to different organizations, so let’s do it again this year!
We encourage everyone to
participate and help fulfill Mary's Place goal of 500 hundred pairs of new
shoes for homeless women and children.
The drive will start
Monday and end on Friday, December 5th at the MS school dance. Donation
boxes will be outside of the library and by the main entrance.
We hope that you make the decision and donate to Mary's Place this holiday and we are sure that the homeless women and children will too!
