Make a Difference Day at Jefferson 2007-2008

LITTLE CHILDREN MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE
:

Three interest groups were targeted this school year in order to help families within our community. Our students, employees and local neighborhood residents collected needed items .
The first option was to send in a package of AA or AAA batteries that will be used for stockings for our troops. These stockings are organized by Operation Support Our Troops http://www.osotil.org/.
Our second option was to provide a box of cereal that will benefit the People’ s Resource Center here in Wheaton http://www.peoplesrc.org/ The People’s Resource Center serves residents in DuPage County.
Our third option was to provide broken crayons that will be melted down and made into “jumbo crayons” that are used by children with occupational needs. The organization that runs this program is SCARCE http://www.bookrescue.org/ .
