Introducing Our New Blessing Box: A Community of Giving at Terra Alta East Preston School!
Dear Eagle Families, Students, and Staff,
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our very own Blessing Box at Terra Alta East Preston School! Located at the front, right-hand side of the building, this initiative represents our dedication to caring for our community, spreading kindness, and addressing immediate needs within our school family.
What is a Blessing Box?
A Blessing Box is a simple, accessible pantry where community members can share resources. It operates on the principle: "Take what you need, leave what you can". There are no forms, no questions asked—just a quiet way to support one another.
How It Works:
If You Need: Please feel free to take non-perishable food items, hygiene products, or other essential supplies when you need them.
If You Can: Consider donating items like canned goods, pasta, granola bars, toiletries, diapers, or even school supplies to keep the box full for everyone.
Why We're Doing This:
We know that sometimes our students and families face unexpected challenges, and we want to provide a readily available resource for immediate needs, ensuring no one goes without.
Let's Make It a Success!
We invite everyone to participate in making this successful. Your small contributions make a big difference. Let's work together to be a blessing and share with those who may need it.
Thank you for your continued support to Terra Alta East Preston School.
Sincerely,
Ms. Jessie
