Good morning, Pumas, this is Cam and I’m with Sources of Strength. This is the last week we will be collecting donations for the Denver Ronald McDonald house. Remember, the organization helps support families who are in town while they receive medical care at one of Denver’s many hospitals.

Sometimes, the hardest part of donating is remembering to bring them in so adding a reminder to your planner, google calendar, or phone is a great idea. Check the posters around the school for donation ideas and we thank you for your generosity!

If you are unable to donate, please consider taking part in the generosity campaign by taking a sticky from one of the posters around the school and sharing it with a friend, a classmate, a staff member, or a stranger. Random acts of kindness and generosity are always appreciated and they make you feel good too! Have a great day!
