Keep the Coats Coming In!

Bargain galore!!! I just noticed that Walmart had a terrific sale on boys and girls winter coats. They are lined and have hoods that are also lined. Lots of great colors and all for only $14 per coat. You can't beat that!!

The $320 donated to Schools Count Corp by Ms. Otahal's English I Honors classes has been put to good use to buy 22 winter coats. This is the first purchase made in the Hinsdale Central High School 'Coats for Curtis' drive sponsored by the Humanitarian Army and Amnesty International.

I know both of the above groups are raising funds, in the upcoming week, to purchase more coats for the students at Curtis Elementary. I have no doubt that we can come up with as many as 35 to 40 winter coats for those children in need. Just think...the children will be able to come to school, and return home, keeping plenty warm as the temps start to fall.

Keep watching for further updates and photos as we get ready to head to Curtis, to make our delivery, during the week of November 22nd. What a way to celebrate the holiday season.

To everyone participating in this program...many thanks!!
