EMAIL DETAILS

Dear 4X:

A lot of info here but we want everyone to have the very helpful info
from the last PA meeting and to be ready when we all come back from
the long weekend.

First, from our wonderful teachers:

1. Thanks to those parents who helped our children prepare 50 pans of
stuffing for Martha's Table on Friday. It is being enjoyed at the
Martha's Table Thanksgiving Dinner today!

2. Please sign the Nov. 30th Zoo permission slip that came home with
your child this weekend.

3. Please check the ERB schedule before making any doctor/dentist/
other appointments in December.

4. Happy Thanksgiving to all!


And now from the LS PA:

Fruit for Martha’s Table
On November 23 there will be an All Lower School Meeting for Worship
for Thanksgiving. We will follow the tradition of asking each child to
bring in one piece of fruit, which will be collected and presented by
each class at this Meeting for Worship. The fruit will be given to
Martha's Table for distribution to those who are hungry. Please send
fruit which will transport well such as oranges, apples or slightly
green bananas.

Holiday Gift Giving
In the spirit of holiday gift giving, the LS Community Service
Committee invites Sidwell Friends families to share with our neighbors
in need during the first two weeks of December. Please drop off
unwrapped gifts in the collection boxes located in Manor House between
November 29 and December 10. If you have any questions or are
interested in lending a hand, contact Beth Zeugin at bczeugin@comcast.net
.

A Wider Circle
Join SFS families at A Wider Circle in Silver Spring on Sunday,
December 5, 1 to 2:30 pm. Volunteers will help sort children’s
clothing, household items, pantry foods and furniture. Your time will
greatly benefit AWC’s Neighbor to Neighbor as they help families who
are just leaving shelters to make a warm, safe, and comfortable home.
All families welcome (ages 4 and up), Second Grade families
encouraged. Please RSVP by November 29 to Sara Jane Harris, sjrharris@comcast.net
.

Martha’s Table
Gather at Martha's Table Saturday, December 11, 10 am to 12:30 am, to
make and bag donated food to feed the hungry throughout the city. You
can even take a tour through the kitchen where you will see the
enormous pot your Wednesday Veggies fill to make the famous Martha’s
Table soup! All families welcome (ages 4 and up). Fourth Grade
families encouraged. (Families can leave earlier than 12:30 pm if they
need to.) Please RSVP by November 23 to Felice Roggen at
froggen@mac.com.


Happy Thanksgiving!
