September Service Collection Project!
Have you ever seen a Grizzly Cave? Garfield Elementary School has one! Garfield students are given "Griz bucks" when they are caught displaying values of the school: Respect, Pride, Responsibility, Integrity, and Practicing Safety. Once a week, they can visit the Grizzly Cave and cash in their Griz Bucks for items in the Cave. Items consist of small value to large value. The Cave has been a huge success but it takes a lot to keep it stocked, which oftentimes comes from the school staff donating items. It would be wonderful if Boise Metro could get donations to help the school continue this positive reward system.
What are we collecting?
Small Items: Pencils, Stickers, Snacks, Lollipops, Toys, Games
Children’s books and comic books
$5 to $10 Gift Card Ideas:
- Food: Jersey Mike's Sub, Mongolian BBQ, Sonic Drive-In, McDonalds, Taco Bell
· Dessert: Coldstone, Dairy Queen, Westside Drive-In
· Clothes and General Merch: Fred Meyer, Visa Gift Card
· Music, Toys or Games: Amazon.com, iTunes, Google Play
Can I give Cash or VENMO and let someone else do the shopping? YES! If you VENMO money to Boise Metro, be sure to put a note that it is for “Grizzly Cave”. If you want to give Cash, donate to Charlene or Jeff and we will obtain needed items. We will be collecting items through Tuesday, September 13th. We will present the gifts to Kelly Case at our meeting that day. She is the Community School Coordinator for Garfield.
