Letter to the Woodville Community

January 19, 2010

Dear Woodville Community,

Over the weekend, one of our Woodville families experienced a house fire. I am very grateful that all family members (two parents and four children) escaped their house safely. Unfortunately, though, their house suffered significant damage and they lost just about all of their belongings.

I am writing to ask for your support to help this family rebuild their lives with donations. The easiest, most practical way to make a donation to this family is in the form of gift cards or checks. I’m working with the PTO and CBC (Community Benefit Committee) to identify the greatest needs for the family so that our donations will have the maximum benefit to the family. We will use money collected to purchase clothing for the four children and household items to help them rebuild. Ideas for gift cards include:
--Market Basket/Shaws/Stop and Shop
--Major retailers such as: Target, WalMart, Toys ‘R Us, etc.
--Checks made out to the Woodville School PTO and in the Memo Line write “CBC”

Also, on this Thursday, January 21st, we will be having a Woodville Spirit Day in which students can dress up in Celtics-wear or green and white and we will have a coin drive throughout the school. Donations of any amount will be accepted and are voluntary. Donations for this week’s coin drive will go to help this family.

When sending any donations into school, please put them in an envelope with my name on them and I will ensure that the donations are used appropriately. Questions can be directed to either Cathie Murdocca, Chair of the CBC, at 781-246-7906 or me at 781-246-6469 x 0.

I appreciate your anticipated generosity.

Sincerely,

Brian Middleton-Cox
Principal
