WHAT: Campout For Kids
WHEN: December 11-12, 2008
WHERE: Brooks Hill Elementary
FOR: Hannah’s Hope – monetary donations
Rochester City School #19 – gently used coats and boots
Perinton Food Shelf – they are greatly in need of canned fruit, canned
meat/stews, coffee (instant or ground), flour, sugar, mustard, salad dressing, shampoo/conditioner, and Kleenex.
WHY: Because we care… because we can.
HISTORY: This will be the second annual Campout for Kids that the Brooks Hill Physical Education staff has done. The PE Staff will be camping and sleeping outside of Brooks Hill School to collect “cans, coats and coins” for this year’s recipients. It began on a whim in the fall of 2007 and the response was overwhelming! Last year, we were able to donate over 500 coats and boots to School #30 in Rochester, over 1000 items to the Perinton Food Shelf, and over $2000 to schools in Kenya. We know that times are hard for everyone, but we really are the lucky ones and are hoping to match last year’s donations.
THIS YEAR’S RECIPIENTS:
Hannah’s Hope: Hannah Congdon was a 2007 graduate of Fairport High School that was tragically died in a car accident just after graduation. She had a passion for helping others and after a visit to Kenya, she fell in love with their children. There has been a Montessori school there named for her and all donations will go directly her school.
Ann Brown Scott School #19: This is a Rochester City School that would greatly benefit from gently used coats and boots. Many of their students have to walk to school in the winter without something to keep them warm.
Perinton Food Shelf: A local organization helping local families in need of every day items, especially food and personal care items.
Snowshoeing anyone?
All physical education classes will be going outside this winter to snowshoe, cross country ski, or to play outdoor games.
WHEN? December 1st to December 16th and then again January 5th to January 16th. They will go out on the days they have P.E. as the weather allows.
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED? All students need to be properly dressed for outdoors. If they are prepared for recess, then they will be ready for P.E.
*Winter jacket
*Snow pants
*Mittens or gloves
*Hat or hood
*Boots
Hill committed to creating "life long movers!" Life time fitness is important to each of us. We hope our students have fun moving and that they want to continue to be “movers” outside of school. We are also committed to fostering an atmosphere of respect, responsibility, honesty, and acceptance.
We hope that you encourage your children, and your children may encourage you to walk together… then you will often talk together!
*Thank you for visiting our web site. It is still a work in progress, but we hope you take a minute to navigate your way through. Please let us know if there is something that you would like to see.
We hope to have pictures and video links up in the near future too!
