The Viola 4th, 5th and 6th graders along with some high school students, will be creating gift bags for the residents of Southfork Living in Salem, AR for Christmas. If anyone has adult socks (crew or tube) with holes in them or mismates, don't throw them away! Send them to school. The students will be making pumpkins with them.
Also, we are collecting Pringle lids for another project. If your family eats Pringles , please save the lids and send to school to Coach Lisa.
If your family has any scrap fabric or yarn, we would appreciate those things as well.
If you have any of these items and would like to donate them, please send all items to Viola Elementary School to Coach Lisa.
