Barrett Elementary's 12 Days of Giving Project has become an annual November tradition. This year's round of giving will kick off on Monday, Nov. 7 and run through Tuesday, Nov. 22.
Whether it is through a donation, a kind word, or a simple show of appreciation, Barrett is looking for ways to make a difference in and around the community. Donations during this period will go to Steel Valley and Barrett Elementary partners like The Rainbow Kitchen, Fast Pitch for the Cure, Batch of Toys, the SV Caring Closet, and more.
Donations for all days can be sent to Barrett from Nov. 7 through Nov. 22.
Each day will have a particular theme for students to participate in.
Day 1: A Turkey For A Family In Need - Purchase a $1 pumpkin for our Giving Patch. Decorate it at home and return to your teacher. All proceeds benefit the KDKA Turkey Fund. Decorative pumpkins can be purchased through Nov. 18.
Day 2: Love For The Children - Students will create pocket hugs for the children and their families at Children's Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House.
Day 3: Care For The Closet - Let's help stock the Steel Valley Caring Closet with small, individually wrapped travel size packs of tissues and travel size bottles of mouthwash
