Names of military personnel are due Nov. 19
Do you have a family member, neighbor, or friend serving in the military who won’t be home for the holidays? We would love to include them in our Military Mailbag project.
Each year students and staff at the BH-BL schools send holiday greetings to military personnel through the Military Mailbag project. Gentled used holiday cards are donated by community members; the cards are then re-purposed by the students and staff to write a message to service personnel.
How do I get a holiday card mailed to a military member who won’t be home for the holidays ?
To have someone you know included, please email his or her complete name and mailing address to Sue Gestwick (sgestwick@bhbl.org) or Michelle Turnbull (mturnbull@bhbl.org). PLEASE NOTE: We need full names and complete address no later than Thursday, Nov. 19.
Can BH-BL teachers and their classrooms get involved?
YES! If teachers would like their classroom students to write cards to soldiers, please let Sue or Michelle how many cards you need and in what building you teach. All holiday cards from classrooms must be given to Sue or Michelle no later than Friday, Dec. 4.
How can I help?
If you have blank holiday cards that you want to donate, please send them to Sue Gestwick or Michelle Turnbull at O’Rourke Middle School.
