Dear Families,
Each year, the Northbridge Association of Churches runs a program to assist Northbridge Public Schools' families during the holiday season. The association provides food baskets at Thanksgiving and will also provide gifts (clothing and a toy) for your child(ren)/gift cards for teens at Christmas.
If this program is something that would be helpful to your family, please complete the attached forms. When filling out the information about your child’s gift, please try your best to give a specific suggestion or provide information about what your child likes (i.e. anything to do with Pokemon, or loves arts and crafts, etc.).
To ensure that you are enrolled in this program, please return your completed form(s) to NES by Friday, October 4th. You can drop them off at the main office of the Northbridge Elementary School, email them to mdriscoll@nps.org, vsteffon@nps.org, caiai@nps.org or stritone@nps.org or send them back to the school with your child marked to the attention of the School Adjustment Counselors on the envelope. It is very important to return the forms in a timely manner as requests cannot be accepted after the NAC deadline. Unfortunately, there is no flexibility with the timeline.
Just prior to each holiday, the Northbridge Association of Churches will contact you directly about when and where to pick up the food baskets and/or gifts. Please call the School Adjustment Counselors at 508-234-8161 with any questions you may have.
All of the NES teachers and staff are committed to ensuring that all of our families are able to enjoy a wonderful holiday season!
