PTA Coat Drive
Please join the May Watts PTA, Project S.H.A.R.E. (Students Helping and Respecting Everybody) and District 204 in a coat drive.
Fall is the time of year to clean out our closets. During the month of October, we are participating in a district wide winter coat collection. Due to the growing need in our district, we are collecting new and gently-used, warm and clean coats of all sizes from preschool to high school. The coats will be distributed to families in need within our district in early November.
Please drop off donations at May Watts in the large box located in the lobby. We will also be teaming up with Walk to School Day on November 2nd. We will have wagons at the designated corners to collect donated items.
If you have any questions about the coat drive, please contact Karen Altekruse, Project S.H.A.R.E. Chair at (630) 355-2603 or karen@altekruse.com
