April is the Month of the Military Child! During the month of March, we are undertaking an ambitious effort to construct care packages and cards of appreciation for each one of these children. We will be coordinating a trip to the base during the month of April to deliver the 270 bags to the Hanscom middle school students (4th through 8th grade) from the students at the Concord Middle School. We would greatly appreciate your contributions of the following items to facilitate this effort, in whatever quantities you can offer:Individually-wrapped snacks, small toys, patriotic accessories, Massachusetts souvenirs (many families get redeployed during May, so remembrances of the local area are especially appreciated), anything else you choose to give! Please drop donations off at the school offices during the Month of March. Thank you in advance for your generosity – any questions please contact Nancy Barrett at barrett.nancy@gmail.com.
