Adopt-A-Family & Food Drive Ends Tomorrow

Tomorrow, 12-12-12, is the final day for donations for both the Adopt-a-Family and food drive.

Thank you so much for all your kindness of gift and food donations.  We have plenty of food donations, but our gifts are a little low this year.   Wednesday, December 12^th will be the final day of collection for items.  Please send in any unwrapped gift to your child’s classroom.  Our Santa’s elves here at Mesa Verde would also love to do any shopping for you if you are unable to.  Gift cards to Wal-Mart or cash donations would be greatly appreciated.

We thank you for all that you are able to do, and know that it makes a big difference for all of our families.  Happy Holidays to all and have a wonderful New Year!
