PTA President's Letter / February 2010

Although we are in the middle of our winter season, the month of February is one of the warmest times of the year.  Perhaps it is because we celebrate love and friendship or because we celebrate the birth of great leaders.  It may even be the thought of spring coming early.  February is also one of the shortest months of the year and there are some wonderful events planned at Wanaque School that will be sure to make everyone’s heart happy!

Pennies for Peace

Wanaque Elementary Students will be participating in a Pennies for Peace campaign from now until March 2.  Pennies for Peace is a service-learning program designed to broaden our students' cultural horizons while teaching them about their capacities as philanthropists — one penny at a time.

We are asking students to bring pennies to school to put into the Pennies for Peace collection jars in their classrooms and in the library. We are asking for pennies only.

For more information about this program, see www.penniesforpeace.org.

Help the Wanaque Police help the Marines in Afghanistan

Capt. Ken Fackina, from the Wanaque Police Dept., will be collecting school supplies and children's clothing (gently used or new) for a US Marine group who is restoring Now Zed, a town in Afghanistan. The Marines have requested these items instead of stuff for themselves.

If you would like to donate anything please drop it off at the Wanaque Police Department, and tell them it is for Captain Fackina.

Thank you so much for your help!
