We look forward to recognizing these special men and women who have contributed so much for our country through a slideshow presentation.Please send a photo of your special Veteran to Kelly_Erickson@roundrockisd.org. Please include the Veteran’s name and unit or job title during their service. Veterans do not need to be present for our program to be included in our slideshow.
FCE Service Club Toy Drive
The Service Club is having a toy drive to benefit Dell Children's Hospital and to bring awareness to OMS. OMS (Opsoclonus Myoclonus Syndrome) is a rare childhood disease that has no cure. The doctors think it is caused when the child's immune system tries to fight a cancerous tumor and instead attacks the brain. Click on the OMS Website to learn more about OMS.
One of our 1st grade students has this disease and his mom came and spoke to the Service Club to raise awareness. She is helping us lead this Toy Drive, which benefits Dell Children's Hospital..
This family knows what it is like to be hospitalized as a child and that giving ill children new toys has an extremely positive impact.
Our goal is 200 new toys. Please bring the new toys to the box by the office by November 30. Toys like Lego’s, Arts and crafts, play dough, Shopkins, Littlest Pet Shop, Hot Wheels, Action Figures, Puppy in my Pocket, Wild Pets, Pokemon, My Little Pony, Disney, cars, stuffed animals, baby blankets, baby toys and games are recommended. $10 Amazon and I-tunes gift cards are also great. Give gift cards to your teacher to give to Mrs. Bartholomew.
If you donate new toys, it will put a smile on a sick child’s face. It would make them very happy!
