New Toy Collection Begins Today!


We invite you to help us bring children and families a more joyful holiday season and a happier New Year.

We are collecting new toys for Youth Service, Inc. a program that is dedicated to meeting the changing needs of children and families in Philadelphia.

 Youth Service, Inc. offers:
    * Emergency shelter for homeless and runaway teens
    * 24-hour emergency care for children

    * Parenting skills and counseling
    * Truancy prevention

A collection box will be located in the Lower School lobby entrance.  Please refrain from giving video games, DVDs, or toys that are violent. 

Come to the GIFT WRAPPING PARTY!
On Thursday, December 3rd at 3:15, students and families are invited to join us after school to create gift-wrap and wrap gifts that have been collected.  All are welcome and there is no cost to participate. Please e-mail Andrea at aemmons@abingtonfriends.net if you’d like to attend!
