Facebook 2025-07-21: Backpack Donations - 

I found a place where I can order backpacks for $5.30 each for Jefferson Elementary but I'd need to order 48 (total $255). If anyone wants to donate toward this purchase, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi to all Sunshine residents! Hopefully most of you are back in your homes after repairs. You've all been in my prayers.

 

This is a reminder that I'm asking for donations to provide a special Christmas for second graders at Jefferson Elementary, the poorest school in Harlingen.

 

I'm asking for real barbie dolls and trucks/cars (nothing needing batteries), twin size pillows (our quilters are making pillowcases. Thank you ladies! ). Audra is making stocking caps in school colors..thank you so much!

 

There are about 30 second graders. If we get more than enough, we will do first grade as well. But I wasn't sure how successful our venture would be so thought I'd start small.

 

I'm trying to get a deal on backpacks so we can put crayons, pencils, rounded scissors, candy etc. We will gladly take financial donations to cover missing supplies. I will be back October 5. I have a special bank account specifically for donations. Pam Davis is my second in command so you can give her checks or cash prior to that.

 

This is not a Women's Club activity, but a Sunshine "adoption" as I'd like to make this an annual thing. Anyone willing to come the day of the celebration is welcome to help. We will need a Santa and Mrs Claus and someone to lead singing Christmas songs. I've been involved at another park and you will not regret it. These kids are so happy. Most don't have their own pillows which is why we are doing that. So please open your hearts and participate however you can.

 

You can always contact me for any information. Thank you in advance. God bless you!

 

P.S. it was suggested to do teacher baskets with things like Kleenex, markers and maybe a little something special just for the teachers.
