I would like to thank all of you so much on all of the wonderful feedback and support we have received regarding the Montessori Preschool in La Pintana. Currently we are preparing for their Holiday Santa Party and Santa DESPERATELY NEEDS YOUR HELP!
We are trying to collect "like-new" stuffed animals for the 3 and under crowd, and "new" toys for the children ages 3-6. Yes, that's right, this extremely ambitious undertaking will amount to 175 stuffed animals and 135 toys to collect before Christmas! These will be the presents that Santa hands out to the children when he visits the school.
Under 3 Age Group: Please bring in any "like-new" small stuffed animals to donate! (Parents, this is an excellent time to clean out that beanie baby collection or get rid of extra stuffed animals to make room for new Christmas toys!) We ask that all stuffed animals be clean and in very good condition. Please not too large, we need them to fit in Santa's bag! We have already received a few items, but we still need 165 MORE stuffed animals!
Age 3-6 Group: Please bring in "new", in-package toys that are age-appropriate. Please bring them unwrapped, and we ask that the price limit for each toy be no more than 5-10mil ($10-$20US) per present. Please consider "adopting" more than one child so that we can quickly reach our goal. We have been offered help in this by the Montessori preschool in La Dehesa that many of our children attend, which means we need to raise just approximately 30 female presents and 30 male presents on our own.
If you could please bring these donations in as soon as possible, so that we can get an idea of how we're doing and where we need to increase our efforts. We have only a few weeks until Santa plans to make his trip down to Chile to visit the school!
Thanks so much for all of your assistance! If you have any questions, please contact Julie Mendez at JMSjulie@aol.com.
