Weekly Update – February 9, 2022

Personal Toiletries Drive for "The Haven"

"Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." Hebrews 13:16

We have a great opportunity to serve students in need right around the corner at Loch Raven High School! We are going to stock “The Haven” with personal toiletry items.

To encourage full participation from our students and families, we are having a contest between each grade. The most items per students in that grade determines the winning class!

Bring items in all next week (Feb 7-11).
Prize to the Winning Class - every student from the winning class who participates in this drive will get a “dress down” day.
Label any bag/box you put in your class’s bin.
Items can be dropped off before school each day at or near the Media Center – they must be labeled in order for the student to receive credit for the dress-down day.
SGA representatives will collect supplies and write down the names of those who participate.

Here is how items will be counted:

1 regular item = 1 item

3 travel sized items = 1 item

$5 = 2 items

Cash can be brought in each morning or people can give to “The Haven” through the NewThing giving platform

WE ARE COLLECTING THESE ITEMS

(full-size and small travel-size)

toothbrushes (individually wrapped)
toothpaste
dental floss
mouthwash
chapstick
facial cleanser (for various skin types)
shaving cream
deodorant
shampoo and conditioner (specifically for "natural" or "textured" hair)
