Opportunity to Help Stepping Stones Nursery School

You may have read about the fire that struck Grace Lutheran Church in Hatfield on New Year's Eve.

With the upcoming North Penn Preschool Expo being held in just a few days at Hatfield Fire Company, which is mere blocks away from Grace Lutheran and its Nursery School, it seems only natural to organize a drive to support this well-loved school as it works to rebuild.

Therefore, collection bins will be set up right inside the front door of the North Penn Preschool Expo this Saturday morning at Hatfield Fire Company. All are invited to drop off items from the list below. If you plan to stay and pass through the Expo, we welcome you to do so. If you would simply like to drop off a quick donation as you carry on with your Saturday morning errands, we hope to make it easy for you to do so.

To avoid overwhelming Stepping Stones with more that they can find storage for at this point, North Penn Under Ten, in conjunction with Christ United Methodist Church in Lansdale, has agreed to store these items for the time being, so please give freely. We understand that the need for toys and books will be greater in a few weeks and are prepared to hold onto these items until that time.

The items that will be of greatest help at this time are:

WALMART GIFTS CARDS
US TOY GIFT CARDS*
*Gift cards enable the staff to fill in the gaps and also purchase what they need when they are in a new facility.

Crayons
Markers
Paint
Paintbrushes
Paper
Totes
Tissues
Paper Plates
Small Cups
Snacks
Office Supplies - Post its, pens, legal pads, calculator
Elmer's Glue
Glue Sticks
Scissors
Plastic Silverware
Storage Totes
Sharpies
Watercolors
Bleach
Industrial Size Spray Bottles
Rubber Gloves
Lysol Spray
Lysol Wipes

Thank you for your dedication to the North Penn community. Now, let's see what we can accomplish when we all pull together as a team!
