This year the Berkeley Community (which will include the Upper, Middle and Lower Divisions) are being asked to participate in a Holiday "Wrap- In” on Friday, December 4th.

All children from the Lower Division will be asked to bring in one new toy (or article of clothing) in a plain gift bag the week of November 30th - December 4th. (Any plain bag, white or color, are great! They should simply be a color that can be easily decorated by the children.)

The requested age range for toys & clothing is anywhere between 12 months and 11 years.

Ideas might include (for boys & girls) games, puzzles, dolls, stuffed animals, sports equipment/balls, art supplies, action figures, books, or clothes. However, any toy or clothing that is suitable for children in this age range will be welcomed.

Discovery Groups will be working with older Berkeley students (on Dec 4th) to decorate their gift bags filled with their donated toy for the migrant children at the Redlands Migrant Daycare Center in Ruskin.

If you send in a toy anytime between now and December 4th, the gifts and their undecorated bags can be stored in your child’s classroom.

Anyone wishing to donate extra toys to this great cause can bring them to the activity center (unwrapped) by December 18.
