Dear friends, neighbors, parents;

The Mira Loma High School French Club will be holding its14th annual toy drive until December 22th, 2017. This year again,we wish to involve you, our Mira Loma families, and we hope toincrease the number of toys that will bring joy to a child who mightnot have much to rejoice during this time of year.

We ask that you generously give a new toy. Also, if you wish,another option would be to have a donation box at your work andbe responsible to bring back any donations from your workcolleagues. Either or both ways, your help is greatly appreciated!

All toys will be donated to the Salvation Army. This representsthe 14th year we at Mira Loma have diligently worked to make theholidays brighter for all, and wish to thank all of you for your helpand generous donation, and thank the Salvation Army for theiron-going role in providing help and refuge to those who are inneed.

Toys can be dropped at Mira Loma in room A-215 and at thelibrary.

Again, thank you for your help, and happy holiday!
