GIVING BACK EVENTS

 

   One of SHPFA's objectives is promoting a sense of community through social activities. We have four activities that fulfill this objective.

 

                                                  ALICIA ROSE BANDANA DAY SALE

                                      Alicia Rose Bandana Day was created by Alicia's classmate to                                                 commemorate her spirit and determination to finish school while

                    undergoing chemotherapy and to raise awareness about her struggles

                    battling cancer. To know more about her story,

                                Our Annual Bandana Day and Sale takes place in March and it

                    supports the Alicia Rose Victorious Foundation, which is a Voorhees based

                    organization dedicated to bringing hope, comfort, entertainment to in-patient

                    children faced with cancer and other life threatening illnesses.

 

 

                                          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

                                                     MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY

 

                               This activity was new last year and was held in January. We used one

                  day off to make beautiful "no sew" blankets for the Voorhees Pediatric Facility.

                  Knowing where your help goes to matters. Here's a link to their website:

                              The children loved their soft Signal Hill blankets. This initiative

                 received such a positive turnout that we ran out of blanket material. We will

                 double the effort this year and perhaps we can choose two organizations to give to.

     

 

 

               

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                THANKSGIVING ADOPT-A-FAMILY

 

                                Every Thanksgiving, we ask each class to provide a traditional holiday

                 dinner with all the trimmings to a Camden County area family. This community

                 service activity is being coordinated with the Department of Youth and Family

                 Services (DYFS) who will pick up the meals and deliver them to families that

                 otherwise may not have a Thanksgiving dinner. SHPFA Representatives are

                 responsible for collecting the items on the menu provided by DYFS. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

           

                                                             THE GIVING TREE 

 

                               Our Annual Giving Tree brings hope and joy to children in need in our

                 area during the holiday season while teaching our children  the spirit of giving,                                  community service and gratitude. A permission slip will be sent home. The front

                 office will call each classroom to pick a tag from the tree on the date scheduled.

                 Only the children with signed slips will be allowed to participate. Children will be

                 assisted in choosing a gift tag from the tree. The children must return the

                 unwrapped gift to the front foyer Giving Tree area by the scheduled date.
