Dear Families,
The holiday season is fast approaching and we want to remember the men and women that are far from their homes and families during this season serving our country. My classes are collecting items to send to soldiers that are currently stationed overseas. We are going to be sending to people that are from El Dorado County, or are family members of people in our community. If you have any names for us, please send the name and complete military address into Ms. Conforti.
I mail all of the packages flat rate which ends up being about $8.00 per box. Last year I mailed over 40 boxes at Christmas. Monetary donations are very much appreciated to help me send these gifts. Cash is easiest, but checks may be made out to me. Thank you, Cathie Conforti
