The SOS Board will hold two service sessions on the Agnes Irwin campus running from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 12:30 to 2 p.m. The opportunities at both sessions include:
Fleece Blanket Making: A fun and easy way to keep kids warm this winter! We will be making blankets from two pieces of fleece, tied together at the edges. No sewing necessary! They will be donated to Project LINUS, an organization that provides blankets to children and babies in need.
Birthday Bundle: We will be packaging and preparing supplies needed to celebrate children's birthdays! Bundles will include hats, paper goods, noise makers, etc. Girls also will make birthday cards for the recipients. If you choose to participate in this activity, we welcome any donations you can bring with you to contribute.
If you have any questions, please email the SOS grade representatives.
Additionally, we are in need of volunteers to help with Lower School events. We need four or five older girls to facilitate each of these activities:
