Stockings for Soldiers
During this year’s Soldier Drive, we would like to provide soldiers with a box full of stockings to share with squad members for Christmas. Many of these soldiers do not have a support system and receive little to nothing during this time.
The following items ONLY are requested for the drive so that we may fill as many stockings uniformly as possible:
All items are able to be purchased at your local dollar store!
- Toothpaste / Toothbrushes
- Puzzle Books (crossword, word search)
- Magazines
- Travel, Domino & Card Games
- Small Sports Items (baseball, Frisbee, etc.)
- Candy Canes
- Individually wrapped Hard Candy & Bubblegum
- Protein, Breakfast & Granola Bars
- Sunflower Seeds
- Trail Mix, Peanut, Pretzel or Cookie Individual Packets
- Slim Jims or Beef Jerky
- Single Packet Flavored Drink Mixes (Crystal Light, Coffee, Mio, Tang, etc.)
- Personal Care Items (Shaving Cream, Deodorant, Chapstick & Sunscreen
Monetary donations can also be made in homerooms. Each $1.00 will count as an item toward the homeroom competition. As in previous years, the homeroom with the highest amount of donations (monetary & items) will receive a pizza party on November 27th prior to early dismissal for the holiday.
If you would like to submit the name of a local soldier who is currently serving in the military, please email their name and address to ggeiger@masd.net, thetrick@masd.net or fill out the clipping and return it to the Meyersdale School District by November 22, 2019.
