This Christmas, our 2nd-grade class at Sutherland is on a mission to spread joy to the residents of the Sutherland Nursing Home. The students are working to earn money to purchase Christmas gifts for the wonderful seniors in our community.
This project teaches our kids the importance of giving, kindness, and helping others. Every contribution—big or small—goes directly toward buying gifts that will brighten someone’s holiday.
If you’d like to support their effort, you can donate change to our Christmas change jar or make a monetary donation. Drop donations off at the school office or contact Mrs. Schow. Last year’s class raised over $300, and we’re hoping to do even better this year.
Thank you for helping our students spread some holiday cheer! ❤️
