SIT - A MESSAGE ABOUT COMMUNITY PARTNER - NEW CIRCLES
Last week, New Circles invited two of our Grades 2's, Lilly and Isla, to come and see where all of the clothes we had collected during the winter clothing drive ended up. We saw where the clothes are stored, sorted and displayed, and also a few of the volunteers and clients. New Circles asked us to pass along a big THANK YOU to all of the Havergal families who donated so generously. Lilly and Isla had a lot of great questions for New Circles on our visit. We learned that they distribute 200,000 pounds of clothes every year to families who need support, and that they have also partnered with Lifeline Syria as their official clothing provider. We also learned that New Circles collects gently loved clothes seasonally and could use our help again in the spring as they prepare for warmer weather. Stay tuned for more information about our next clothing drive! A heartfelt thank you from Lilly, Isla and the SIT Club!
