Adopt-a-Family program

Adam Beck School Council will once again be supporting families through Community Centre 55’s Adopt-a-Family program. There are many families in our community that will be in need over this holiday season and we hope to do our part in helping make the season a little brighter for them. We would like to thank everyone in advance for your generous support of this initiative. We will have a “Giving Tree” outside of the school office beginning Friday November 23rd, and it will be decorated with ornaments that have gift ideas for our Adopted Families. We will be supporting four families this year.

Our families are in need of not only toys but everything from kitchen necessities to clothing for the children, bedding and gift cards for groceries.

If you and your child(ren) would like to buy a gift, please take an ornament, buy the gift and return the gift (unwrapped) to the office, with the ornament attached, by Friday December 14th. That way the children will not receive multiple identical gifts. Please note, if your child takes an ornament home but you decide not to purchase the gift, then please remember to return the ornament to the tree.

As well, a donation box will be set up in the office to collect cash, Canadian Tire money and gift cards. Gift cards from stores that use point systems such as Shoppers Drug Mart can be purchased using your accumulated points. Please make sure to include “purchase receipts” for any gift cards in order to avoid any problems when using those cards.

Lastly don’t forget you can use Fundscrip to purchase gift cards, that way both our families and the school are supported.
