Knit for a Cause students have been busy over the last couple of months! Before winter break, students made knitted cacti and heart ornaments as Christmas gifts for parents. In January, students have been knitting dishcloths, stuffed animals to donate to the Children's Hospital in Peoria, as well as their own projects! Keep on knitting and spreading that joy with your projects!

*Salvation Army 2021 Project and WHIP Update*
In the month of December, Central adopted eighteen families in need through the Salvation Army. All grade levels participated to help these families.
The following list indicates how each grade level contributed:
· Kindergarten – toothbrushes and toothpaste
· 1st grade - kitchen gadgets (can openers, pot holders, spatulas, etc…)
· 2nd grade - bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, dish clothes, etc…
· 3rd grade – laundry soap/softener
· 4th grade – Cleaning supplies (bath, kitchen, etc…)
· 5th grade – toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, bath gel, lotions, etc…)
· 6th, 7th, and 8th grades – Christmas gifts for the children and parents.
This project has become a tradition at CIS and CPS and as always Central students/families showed their generosity by going above and beyond. In addition to the gifts and household goods, we supplied a $50 Kroger gift card to each family to help provide Christmas dinner. The Salvation Army is always so impressed with our school and all of the families are extremely thankful for our generosity!
Thank you to all of the students and families that made this project a success! The students had a great time and hopefully learned that giving can feel better than receiving.
Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to update you on the success of our WHIP (Washington Helps Its People) program. During the month of November, the primary grades went crazy and brought in 5,621 items!!!! We are so proud of our young Trojans:) In total our school donated 6,776 items for the month of November. We did not take a December count because we were so focused on the Salvation Army project but we did send crates of items over at the end of the month which included overflow items from the Salvation Army project.
As always, thank you for your continued support!
