Toy Collection for the Holidays

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 
    * Foster care and placement services
    * Parenting skills and counseling
    * Truancy prevention
    * Family-based services in the home

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

On Friday, December 16 we will be creating our own wrapping paper and wrapping the gifts after school.  All are welcome to join us in the Extended Day space for snacks and gift wrapping from 3:15 - 4:30!
