Commun ty Matters Fort Scott Presbyterian Village
Community Friends Fort Scott share the love with Presbyterian public schools Village
February 2015
Residents giving back
Our Community Friends project this month will focus on sharing love with the local elementary school children in Fort Scott. We will work hand-inhand with the local parent-teacher group to help children who are unable to bring Valentines to their annual school parties.
We don’t want any kids to feel left out. During February, several of our residents will make simple projects such as crayon heart molds, crystal hearts, message marbles, ring bling, slime and many other items that will be used toward this Valentine effort.
On Feb. 12, residents will take the Valentines to the school for distribution. We would love to have you join us in our efforts to spread love to our local elementary schools. Contact Melisa Fernandez for more information at mfernandez@pmma.org.
