From Grantham Boosters:
Almost 90% of Grantham Elementary students live in a household that meets federal poverty guidelines. Our Annual Quarter Sale is a way for students to purchase a small gift for their family members. We seek donations from the community – wrapping paper and tape, as well as the small items for students to purchase, and then students will shop December 12-14, and each item is only $0.25. Students can wrap the gifts right there so they are ready to go under the tree when they get home. This program is greatly appreciated by our families and ensures our students feel the Christmas spirit, regardless of their family situation.
Community members that want to assist can donate items as well as do cash donations to offset any supplies we need to purchase if donations fall short. We do ask that donations be in by December 9th so we can organize, and they can be dropped off at the office. We are also able to coordinate pick-up if people are homebound.
