What’s Happening at Tiffany: Week of February 17th

YMCA Annual Campaign

It’s that time again where we all come together to support our community. Will you help and join our cause? Once a year, from February to March, YMCA comes together with their community partners to help raise funds allowing all families to have access to services. Our principal, Mr. Morello, YMCA and DASH will come together and begin our campaign efforts. Our community focus areas are Achievement Gap, Senior Isolation, Drowning, Military Support, Obesity and Poverty. Funds raised allow all families in our community access and not be turned away due to inability to pay for services.

How you can Support?

We’d like to ask each one of you to help us spread awareness of our cause by having a coin jar.  Each coin jar will be decorating by our Y students on what the Y means to them. Each classroom will have a coin jar where any student/teacher can help with a monetary donation. The classroom with the most amounts raised will be given extra time for recess!!
