From November 8-December 8, all Mahtomedi students and staff will have the opportunity to participate in a district-wide service project and collect items for the Holiday Gift Assistance program.
The support needs in our school community continue to grow each year. There are significant demands for holiday gift support, and a district-wide initiative allows our school community to work together and use our age-specific strengths and interests to serve others with intention and action.
The collection items by schools and programs are noted below. Items can be brought to the school's front office in donation boxes or at the designated location.
Early Childhood, Preschool, and Wildwood Elementary School Students and Staff: New Children's and Young Adult Books
O.H. Anderson Elementary School Students and Staff: Toys and Puzzles
Mahtomedi Middle School Students and Staff: Financial Donations (students can bring cash or checks to their Zephyr Time class; checks should be made out to Mahtomedi Middle School. MMS students will be shopping for clothes, pajamas, blankets, and non-toy needs)
Mahtomedi High School and Passages Students and Staff: Gift Wrap and Gift Bags
District-Wide Staff: Gift Cards
Donated items will be assembled into family packages for the Holiday Gift Assistance program.
Families who need holiday gift assistance can apply between now and November 30 via this Google Form. To be eligible for gift assistance, you must have a child enrolled in Mahtomedi Public Schools (Early Childhood, K-12 grades, and Passages). Non-school-age siblings (babies and toddlers) of students enrolled in Mahtomedi Public Schools are also eligible to receive gifts through this program.
