Dear Metcalf Family,
In a effort to help those affected by Sunday's tornado in Washington, combined with our theme, "How Can We Help?" Metcalf students and staff are going to participate in a "penny drive." Any type of currency will be accepted, of course. The name reflects the idea that any donation, even down to pennies, can help.
We are asking classroom teachers to collect the money in the large envelope that will be in your mailbox later today. At the end of each day, students from Mrs. Frank's homeroom will stop by to collect the envelope/money. The envelope will be returned to your mailbox each day.
Teachers are not expected to tally the amounts brought in; it will be a community effort within Metcalf to raise as much as we can. The money will be earmarked for Washington; we are still in the process of finding the most effective way to get the donations directly there.
Thank you to the students and staff who are taking this project on and thank you for your participation, and willingness to help others!
Sincerely,
Amy
Principal, Thomas Metcalf Laboratory School, College of Education, Illinois State University
