LOST & FOUND
Our lost and found is overflowing, and everything will be donated next week. Please ask your student to check for anything that they might be missing. We have 4 full tables with sweaters and jackets and a cart full of water bottles!
Community Holiday Gifts Program
The IDEALab is currently in search of a sewing machine donation to support our ongoing projects at Altona. We have a dedicated group of sewers who are passionately creating artifacts, quilts, and bags, and they would greatly benefit from the use of a newer sewing machine.
If you have any questions or would like more information about our project endeavors, please feel free to reach out to Jessica Campbell, IDEALab Coordinator, at [campbell_jessica@svvsd.org] or [720-494-3980 x 35569].
We are celebrating the Altona staff by asking parents to bring in baked goods for our annual Holiday Staff Appreciation.
Please sign-up to bring baked goods here.
We also need your help with collecting baked goods at drop-off, decorate and handout goodies. To volunteer your time, sign-up here.
Shopping for the holidays? Grab a few extra cans of green beans. Altona WEB and NJHS are teaming up for our annual canned food and hygiene item drive! The Canned Food Drive will run from November 27 to December 15th. All donations will benefit the OUR Center, here in Longmont. Cash, checks, and grocery gift cards are also welcome. Please make all checks out to the Our Center.
Attached is the list of the most needed items, as requested by the OUR Center.
