2022 Holiday Giving at Crossfield
You Can Offer Hope to Families in Need
If you would like to help some of the Crossfield families in need of holiday assistance this year, please follow these instructions:
- Purchase a gift card(s) to Wal-Mart and/or Target (preferably in $20 increments).
- Write the amount on the gift card.
- Bring the gift card to Crossfield’s main office by Friday, December 2, 2022.
How to Inspire Kids to Give
It can be challenging for kids to see how donating money is meaningful. A few easy, stay-at-home ways you can provide your children inspiration for giving include:
- Read books about the importance of giving. Some examples include: Those Shoes, The Spiffiest Giant in Town, The Gift Inside the Box, What Is Given from the Heart, or Under the Lemon Moon
- Have a family movie to watch a film that encourages the spirit of giving (after checking commonsensemedia.org, of course). Gandhi, The Ultimate Gift, Pollyanna, Batkid Begins, Pay It Forward or Millions, to name a few.
- After your children feel inspired, you may be able to encourage them to include a few dollars from their own piggy bank to help with holiday giving at Crossfield.
For more information, please contact Lea Fadden at ltfadden@fcps.edu.
