The Logos students at Sherwood Heights have signed up to serve a couple meals at the Edmonton Mustard Seed and will be having a bottle drive to help raise funds. Here’s what Mr. Bouwers has asked us to pass on!
Thanks to all of you who are excited to serve a meal at the Mustard Seed (Dec 6 and Feb 21). We are having a bottle drive to raise money for the meals (for 300 people) on Saturday Nov 4. We will meet at school at 10:00 AM . If any parents have a truck and can help to collect bottles that day please email me at randy.bouwers@eips.ca. Thanks again for your support. It would also be good to know who can participate that day as well.
