Burgess Pre-School Supports the Troops

Greetings,

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and that the holiday provided respite for all. The following correspondence is sent on behalf of the Burgess Preschool in support of their efforts on behalf of our troops.

Remember how cold we were the first week of November? 

Our troops are cold everyday in Afghanistan, and in need of warmth and comfort at Army Reed Hospital. Let’s show them how much we appreciate their sacrifices!

Burgess Preschool has begun their 4th annual collection* for our troops overseas through the national organization, Operation First Response (operationfirstresponse.org). 

Please help the Burgess Preschool make this a big success! 

This year Operation First Response is in need of: sweatshirts  and  sweatpants (blue, black or grey in M, L, XL) as well as cards and letters to lift the soldiers’ spirits 

Collection boxes are at the following locations from:

• Burgess Elementary School       
• Sturbridge Town Hall
• Shaw’s plaza, Sturbridge            
• Old Navy, Sturbridge
• Village Music, Sturbridge         
• Sturbridge Coffee House
• Yankee Spirits, Sturbridge        
• YMCA, Southbridge

Collection through November 25-December 16, 2011

Monetary donations are also very much appreciated.  Please make checks out to "Operation First Response" and mail to:

Burgess Preschool, 45 Burgess School Road, Sturbridge, MA  01566.  

Please do not place checks in the collection boxes!  

Thank you in advance for all your support!
