Our
Note To You ~
Dear Concord Road Families:
Each year, around
the 100th Day of school, we make care packages for our men and women
serving overseas. The 100th day of school will be February 25th (pending
any snow days). Last year with the help of the students, parents and
staff at Concord Road we sent over 400 care packages to our troops serving
in Iraq & Afghanistan. Each student also wrote a letter or drew
a picture for a soldier. The Westchester Division of Operation Support
Our Troops paid to ship our care packages over seas. We received so
many heart felt thank you letters/emails from our soldiers - it was
an amazing project! This year we would like to continue to show our
support. I am asking that each grade send in the following items. You
can send in one item or all four. Even the smallest contribution will
make a difference! As with any charitable donation, the choice to donate
is yours. All the children will be asked to make cards, pictures or
letters as we get closer to the 100th Day.
