To Whom It May Concern:
As an educator one never knows what to expect each day from our profession. Teaching is so much more than just educating students. It is making sure they are taken care of as a whole. That whole means being fed, clothed and most of all cared for.
We faced a huge crisis just a few days before our holiday break was to begin. Many of our students qualify for free breakfast and lunch during the five day school week so they are at least eating two meals a day when they are in school. But over the 14 day holiday break, food at home is stretched to the limit. We usually send home food boxes to help cover this 14 day gap but unexpectedly our main donor told us they were unable to help this year.
We were desperate to find a way to fill these food boxes as usual. PebbleCreekers, so many of you responded to our plea for food donations. Your love and generosity overwhelmed us. You have become part of our family here. Because of you we are now able to store extra food so we can supply our children with weekend food until the next paycheck and also get a head start on boxes for the spring break in March.
Our kids are special to us! I am glad you feel they are special, too! Thank you again and Happy New Year from the Liberty Elementary School Staff.
Yours in pride, Principal Jennifer Gray.
P.S. Many of you asked about future donations. We will continue to collect food donations throughout the school year. If you wish to donate, please call the school through the end of May and we will arrange to pick up your donations if you aren’t able to deliver to us. The school number is 623-327-2810. We are about 20 minutes away on Route 85 in Buckeye. v
The Drinovsky family would like to thank everyone for their thoughtfulness, generosity and support during this difficult time since baby Gavin’s passing. Everyone’s kindness has been a source of strength and comfort and is greatly appreciated. We thank everyone who attended the celebration of Gavin’s life on March 29. We are grateful to all of you who took the time to come and share in the remembrance of Gavin. We thank those unable to attend who keep us in their thoughts and prayers.
From your generous donations to the medical fund, offerings of food and just being there with a hug and kind words and a willingness to listen, all of your kindnesses means so much to us. Our precious angel was with us so briefly but we will cherish and remember him forever. We are thankful for the time we had together and we thank all our family and friends for their heartfelt support that has helped us through this difficult time.
Remember each day and each person in your life is precious; appreciate each one every day.
We thank you for your kind expressions of sympathy and ask you to remember always, Gavin John Drinovsky January 26, 2015 – January 29, 2015.
Fleetingly Known
Fleetingly known, yet ever remembered
These are our children, now and always:
Those whom we see not, we will forget not,
Morning and evenings, all of our days.
Lives that touched our lives, tenderly, briefly,
Now in the one light living always.
Named in our hearts now, safe from all harm now
We will remember all of our days.
