Do you need help for Thanksgiving?
A group of MRPS parents did a fundraising campaign to provide assistance to families in our school community for Thanksgiving. We have $50 gift cards to Shaw’s to offer for Thanksgiving meal costs. If you are interested in receiving a gift certificate please contact Ellia Cohen, our School Social Worker. This will be on a first come, first serve basis, with no questions asked. Once our Social Worker hears from you, she will leave the gift card at the front office in an envelope with your name on it.
Please contact our Social Worker, Ellia Cohen, for more information on accessing support during the holidays. Her confidential direct line is 225-8023, or she can be reached by email: ElliaCohen@mpsvt.org
