DONATIONS FOR BENIN, AFRICA

Dr. Camille Brown, Assistant Superintendent, in Baltimore, MD is a friend of Mrs. DeAngelo’s and travels to Benin, Africa every year and brings a variety of items to the children.  This year we thought that as a school community we could donate a pair of flip-flops (per family) from our school.  If you cannot donate a pair of flip-flops or would like to donate some money, the money would help pay for the shipping of the flip-flops.  There will be a box outside the school office for you to place your donated flip-flops in.  Also, any ABVM uniforms that we have in the recycle bins will be donated to Dr. Brown.  Thank you as always for your continued support.
