Dear beloved Parents,

First of all, thank you all for supporting the Award Store by donating your cherishable toys and turning it into a reborn toy for another child.  We will be holding a “toy recycling day” this coming Saturday, 9/19/2015.  As you are sorting through your donations, please pick items that are in good shape, clean and safe to others. 

We encourage you to work with your kid(s) on this project, with this giving and sharing experience, our children will develop a sense of respect, caring and compassion towards others. We also need a lot of helping hands to sort donated toys, please let us know if you are able to participate. Students who bring toys to school will receive an award card as our way of saying “thank you.”

Sincerely yours

Award Store volunteers
