Salvation Army Stockings
In past years Argyle has been at the top of the list for how many stockings
we have filled.
Last year we filled 75 stockings.
The stockings will be going to boys and girls in Cobb County only, some may
be for our students. I have signed our class up to fill 2 stockings! Any
help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for your generosity and support!
Here are some ideas for the stocking:
NON-food items such as pencils and erasers, writing tablets and other school
supplies
Infant items
Bows and barrettes, socks, mittens, gloves, hats
Small toys, yo-yo, slinky, cars, dolls
Soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb
And anything appropriate and non-breakable that will fit into a stocking.
Please send in Fernbank Field Trip permission slips and money ASAP.
Muffins with Mom on Tuesday at 7:00am.
